Risk prediction of kidney function in long-term kidney transplant recipients by Krzysztof Batko, Krzysztof Batko, Anna Sączek, Małgorzata Banaszkiewicz, Jolanta Małyszko, Ewa Koc-Żórawska, Marcin Żórawski, Marcin Żórawski, Karolina Niezabitowska, Katarzyna Siek, Alina Bętkowska-Prokop, Andrzej Kraśniak, Marcin Krzanowski, Katarzyna Krzanowska

“…Serum APLN, ELA, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and α Klotho were tested using enzyme-linked immunoassay and compared with a control group of 32 healthy controls (HCs).ResultsWhen comparing with HCs, higher serum FGF-23, ELA and APLN, but lower ɑ Klotho concentrations were observed in long-term KTRs. Most KTRs had stable trajectories of renal function. Mean estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) over 2-year follow-up was associated with significantly lower odds of graft loss (OR 0.04, 95% CI 0.01–0.15; p < 0.001). …”
