Objective: This study aimed to analyze the risk of chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) or amputation among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) entering a hemodialysis (HD) program and to evaluate the protective effect associated with kidney transplantation (KT). Design, Material and Methods: Retrospective cohort of all consecutive ESRD patients entering into a HD program at our institution between 2000 and 2010. Collected variables included baseline characteristics (pre-entry in hemodialysis), time on HD program, KT and the composite outcome of chronic limb threatening ischemia or need for any amputation (CLTI/AMP). Patients with previous symptomatic peripheral arterial disease or amputation were excluded. Results: The study group included 336 patients (mean age 63 years, 66% male). The mean follow up was 6.7 years with an average time on HD of 4.2 years. Ninety two patients (27.4 %) underwent transplantation. CLTI free survival rates were 90.3 % and 82.6 % at 5 and 10 years, respectively. The episodes of CLT involved 28 revascularization procedures (17 endovascular and 11 open surgeries), 18 minor amputations and 20 major amputations. KT was associated with a protective effect over the development of CLTI (HR: 0.065; CI 95% 0.02–0.21) after adjustment for confounding factors. The long-term survival of non-transplanted patients was 45 % and 15 % at 5 and 10 years, respectively and the long-term survival in transplanted patients was 89% and 80% at 5 and 10 years, respectively; but decreased to 47 % at 1 year and 18.2 % at 5 years once CLTI occurred. Conclusion: Patients on HD program show a notorious risk of chronic limb threatening ischemia or amputation over time. Once this complication occurs, patient's survival is markedly reduced. Transplantation confers an independent protective effect over the development of chronic limb threatening ischemia or amputation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
