Abstract:
Objective:To explore the diagnostic values of urinary levels of CXCL9/SCr and CXCL10/SCr in kidney transplant rejection patients.Method:From March 2021 to July 2022, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 120 recipients undergoing kidney transplant biopsy at Tianjin First Central Hospital. According to the results of pathological examinations, they were assigned into three groups of rejection (72 cases), BK virus nephropathy (BKVN, 16 cases) and transplant nephropathy (32 cases). Renal function stable group (20 cases) was selected as control group. And 72 recipients in rejection group were divided into three sub-groups of ≥1A T cell mediated rejection (TCMR, 28 cases) ,antibody-mediated rejection (AMR, 32 cases) and borderline TCMR (10 cases). Subgroup analysis of rejection group was performed for clarifying the differences among various rejection types. The specificity and sensitivity of urinary CXCL9/SCr and CXCL10/SCr were evaluated by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and their correlations examined.Result:No significant difference existed in general profiles among four groups. No difference existed between urinary CXCL9/SCr and CXCL10/SCr between rejection and BKVN groups. And the values of these two groups were higher than those of transplant nephropathy and renal function stable groups ( P<0.01). In subgroup analysis of rejection, urinary CXCL9/SCr and CXCL10/SCr values in rejection group were higher than those in borderline TCMR and AMR groups ( P<0.01). No difference existed between borderline TCMR and AMR groups. Urinary CXCL9/SCr had an AUC of 0.938 and a threshold of 0.482 μg/mol while urinary CXCL10/SCr had an AUC of 0.89n and a threshold of 5.516 μg/mol. Urinary CXCL9/SCr and CXCL10/SCr had a high linear correlation. Conclusion:Urinary CXCL9/SCr and CXCL10/SCr may be employed as early non-invasive detection markers for RT rejection sensitivity and specificity.
