Urinary IL-8 is a marker of early and long-term graft function after renal transplantation
2017
Overview
In this study, we examined whether the IL-8 content of urine sampled on day 1 and day 14 after renal transplantation is a marker of early and long-term renal function. Moreover, we assessed whether its concentration is positively correlated with the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) content of urine sampled on day 1 and day 30 and 12 months after renal transplantation. Our analysis covered 87 patients who underwent a kidney transplant. The patients were observed for an average of 30 months (12–60 months). The IL-8 concentration determined on day 1 was significantly negatively correlated with creatinine clearance early after renal transplantation (on days 1, 7, 14 and 30), as well as during long-term observations. IL-8 concentration in urine sampled on day 1 and day 14 was higher in patients demonstrating DGF than in those without DGF. No relationship was found between IL-8 content and cold ischaemia time. MMP-9 activity determined on day 1 and month 3 after renal transplantation was positively correlated with the IL-8 content determined in urine sampled on day 1, Rs = +0.32, p < .05 and Rs = +0.31, p < .05, respectively. The results of this study suggest that a high IL-8 content in urine sampled on day 1 after renal transplantation is an unfavourable marker of early and long-term (years-long) graft function. A high IL-8 content in urine sampled on day 1 after renal transplantation was positively correlated with the activity of metalloproteinase-9 in urine. This proves that both of these chemokines cooperate in ischaemia–reperfusion injuries in transplanted kidneys.
