Abstract
Background. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of acquired thrombophilic factors in Stage V chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients according to dialysis modality, the rate of correction of these factors 1 month after renal transplantation and their impact on cardiovascular or thromboembolic events at 1 year.
Methods. Three hundred and ten patients were prospectively screened for seven thrombophilic factors at transplantation; 215 of them were also assayed 1 month after. All the patients received prophylactic acetylsalicylic acid, started before transplantation.
Results. The prevalence of thrombophilic factors was significantly higher in patients under dialysis (n = 289) than in patients not yet on dialysis (n = 21) (74 versus 52.4%; P = 0.03) but was similar in haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients (74.2 versus 73.2%). One month after transplantation, the global prevalence of thrombophilic factors had dropped from 74.4 to 44.7% (P
Conclusion. Acquired thrombophilic factors are highly prevalent among Stage V CKD patients. Most thrombophilic factors are corrected 1 month after transplantation.
