Resumen
Introducción: la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) es una entidad clínica caracterizada por el deterioro definitivo o no reversible de la arquitectura del riñón o de su estado funcional. El trasplante renal es el tratamiento de elección para la ERC. Nuevas terapias farmacológicas se han investigado con la finalidad de disminuir el riesgo de rechazo de injerto renal; un ejemplo de ello es la vitamina D. Sin embargo, la evidencia internacional presenta resultados mixtos.
Objetivo: evaluar la relación entre los niveles séricos de vitamina D y la prevalencia de disfunción aguda del injerto renal en pacientes que recibieron trasplante renal.
Material y métodos: se llevó a cabo un estudio retrospectivo, observacional y comparativo que tuvo como población a pacientes sometidos a trasplante renal. Se integraron 30 pacientes que fueron clasificados en 2 grupos: grupo 1: los pacientes con disfunción aguda del injerto y grupo 2, aquellos sin disfunción aguda del injerto.
Resultados: se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la disfunción aguda del injerto renal y los niveles séricos de vitamina D (p = 0.003). El resto de las características no mostraron una relación estadísticamente significativa con la disfunción aguda del injerto renal.
Conclusiones: los niveles bajos de 25-hidroxivitamina D mostraron una asociación estadísticamente significativa con la disfunción aguda del injerto renal.
Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a clinical entity characterized by definitive or non-reversible deterioration of the kidney’s architecture and/or its functional status. Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for CKD. New pharmacological therapies have been investigated with the aim of reducing the risk of renal graft rejection; an example of this is vitamin D. However, international evidence presents mixed results.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the prevalence of acute renal graft dysfunction in renal transplant patients.
Material and methods: A prospective, observational and comparative study was carried out with a population of patients who underwent renal transplantation. The patients were classified into 2 groups: group 1: patients with acute graft dysfunction, and group 2, those without acute graft dysfunction.
Results: A statistically significant relationship was found between acute renal graft dysfunction and serum vitamin D levels (p = 0.003). All other characteristics did not show a statistically significant relationship with acute renal graft dysfunction.
Conclusions: Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels showed a statistically significant association with acute renal graft dysfunction.
