Abstract

Abstract Background Proteinuria after kidney transplantation portends a worse graft survival. However the magnitude of proteinuria related to patient and graft survival and its correlation with donor and recipient characteristics are poorly explored. Methods This study investigated the impact of post transplant proteinuria in the first year in 1127 kidney transplants analyzing the impact of different donor ages. Proteinuria cut off was set at 0.5 g/day. Results Transplants with proteinuria > 0.5 g/day correlated with poor graft and patient outcome in all donor age groups. In addition, 6-month-1-year proteinuria increase was significantly associated with graft outcome, especially with donors > 60 years old (p <  0.05; Odd Ratio 1.8). 1-year graft function (eGFR < or ≥ 44 ml/min) had similar impact to proteinuria (≥ 0.5 g/day) on graft failure (Hazard Ratio 2.77 vs Hazard Ratio 2.46). Low-grade proteinuria (0.2–0.5 g/day) demonstrated a trend for worse graft survival with increasing donor age. Also in kidney-paired analysis proteinuria ≥0.5 effect was more significant with donors > 50 years old (Odd Ratio 2.3). Conclusions Post-transplant proteinuria was increasingly harmful with older donor age. Proteinuria ≥0.5 g/day correlates with worse outcomes in all transplanted patients. Prognostic value of proteinuria and eGFR for graft and patient survival was comparable and these two variables remain significant risk factors even in a multivariate model that take into consideration the most important clinical variables (donor age, rejection, delayed graft function and cytomegalovirus viremia among others).
