Abstract
AbstractBackgroundEarly post‐kidney transplantation (KT) changes in physiology, medications, and health stressors likely impact body mass index (BMI) and likely impact all‐cause graft loss and mortality.MethodsWe estimated 5‐year post‐KT (n = 151 170; SRTR) BMI trajectories using an adjusted mixed effects model. We estimated long‐term mortality and graft loss risks by 1‐year BMI change quartile (decrease [1st quartile]: change < −.07 kg/m2/month; stable [2nd quartile]: −.07 ≤ change ≤ .09 kg/m2/month; increase [3rd, 4th quartile]: change > .09 kg/m2/month) using adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsBMI increased in the 3 years post‐KT (.64 kg/m2/year, 95% CI: .63, .64) and decreased in years 3–5 (−.24 kg/m2/year, 95% CI: −.26, −.22). 1‐year post‐KT BMI decrease was associated with elevated risks of all‐cause mortality (aHR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.10–1.16), all‐cause graft loss (aHR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.10–1.15), death‐censored graft loss (aHR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.11–1.19), and mortality with functioning graft (aHR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.08–1.14). Among recipients with obesity (pre‐KT BMI≥30 kg/m2), BMI increase was associated with higher all‐cause mortality (aHR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.05–1.14), all‐cause graft loss (aHR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01–1.09), and mortality with functioning graft (aHR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.05–1.15) risks, but not death‐censored graft loss risks, relative to stable weight. Among individuals without obesity, BMI increase was associated with lower all‐cause graft loss (aHR = .97, 95% CI: .95–.99) and death‐censored graft loss (aHR = .93, 95% CI: .90–.96) risks, but not all‐cause mortality or mortality with functioning graft risks.ConclusionsBMI increases in the 3 years post‐KT, then decreases in years 3–5. BMI loss in all adult KT recipients and BMI gain in those with obesity should be carefully monitored post‐KT.
