Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: Renal transplantation is currently the preferred treatment modality for virtually all suitable candidates with end-stage renal disease. When compared with the general population, cardiovascular mortality in transplant recipients is increased by nearly 10-fold among patients within the age range of 35 and 44 and at least doubled among those between the ages of 55 and 64. All transplant recipients should currently be considered as coronary heart disease risk. This study was designed to analyze cardio-vascular risk factors among renal transplant patients.To analyze the risk factors for cardiovascular disease in the renal transplant recipients. Analytical study was done in Government Stanley hospital among renal transplant recipients. All recipients’ profile of Age, Sex, Nature of the Donor, Post transplant duration in months was noted. Height and weight were measured. Body mass index was calculated. Waist circumference and Blood pressure were measured. Fasting and 2 hours postprandial blood were taken to analyze, Creatinine, Total Cholesterol, HDL,LDL, Triglycerides, Hemoglobin, Serum albumin, Serum uric acid. Although all the determinants of enhanced CVD risks in renal transplant recipients have not been well defined, both conventional and unconventional risk factors have been suggested to be contributory. The former risks include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, smoking, and family history. The latter risks include pre-existing left ventricular hypertrophy, coronary artery vascular calcification, impaired allograft function, proteinuria, anemia, acute rejection episodes,hyperhomocysteinemia, and inflammatory cytokines.According to analysis following variables concluded as cardiovascular risk factors were Increased age, Deceased donor graft recipients, Metabolic syndrome, Post transplantation Diabetes, Elevated serum cholesterol, Elevated LDL cholesterol, Elevated TGL cholesterol, Anemia, and Post transplant erythrocytosis. Keywords:obesity, Elevated serum cholesterol, Elevated LDL cholesterol, metabolic syndrome,Erythrocytosis.
