Transplantation Proceedings, 11/02/09
Karbowska A et al. – Hyperuricemia is common in renal transplant recipients treated with calcineurin inhibitors. Uric acid induces glomerular hypertension, microvascular disease, and renal interstitial fibrosis and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular complications. The mechanisms by which uric acid injures renal allografts and the cardiovascular system remain unclear. Hyperuricemia mediates endothelial dysfunction and inflammation and via this pathway, possibly contributes to chronic allograft injury and cardiovascular events in renal allograft recipients.
