Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Kidney transplantation and exposure to tacrolimus.
This study involves daily blood and urine sample collection of patients undergoing kidney transplantation, from one day before the transplant up to 30 days after (or earlier, if patient is discharged from the study hospital before postoperative day 30). Medical record information is also gathered, including daily tacrolimus dosage and blood levels, potential episodes of AKI after transplant and causes, such as rejection, infections or surgical complications, kidney biopsy results, long-term kidney function and damage, as measured by serum creatinine and urine albuminuria. The overall duration of observation is from time of enrolment for 12 months.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 335407 0
The primary outcome will be the number of histological alterations potentially related to tacrolimus toxicity (as a continuous measurement) at the 3-month protocolar kidney biopsy. The potential alterations include (1) isometric tubular vacuolation, (2) thrombotic microangiopathy, (3) arteriolar hyalinosis, (4) tubular atrophy, (5) interstitial fibrosis and (6) dystrophic calcification. The primary outcome will be the score represented by the number of the alterations at the 3-m kidney biopsy, from 0 to 6.
Timepoint [1] 335407 0
3-month protocolar kidney biopsy
Secondary outcome [1] 439546 0
AKI determined by the kidney biomarkers urinary KIM-1 AND urinary MCP-1 (composite):
urinary KIM-1 /urinary creatinine (uCr) > 0.1 ng/umol plus urinary MCP-1 /uCr> 0.01ng/umol
(levels based on the upper 95% percentile in studies performed by our group in healthy patients).
Timepoint [1] 439546 0
Daily, within the first 30 days after kidney transplantation.
Secondary outcome [2] 439979 0
AKI determined by the kidney biomarkers urinary KIM-1 AND urinary calbindin (composite):
urinary KIM-1 /urinary creatinine (uCr) > 0.1 ng/umol plus increased biomarker urinary calbindin /uCr> 1.97 ng/umol (levels based on the upper 95% percentile in studies performed by our group in healthy patients).
Timepoint [2] 439979 0
Daily, within the first 30 days after kidney transplantation.
Secondary outcome [3] 439980 0
AKI determined by the kidney biomarkers urinary KIM-1 AND urinary clusterin (composite):
urinary KIM-1 /urinary creatinine (uCr) > 0.1 ng/umol plus urinary clusterin /uCr>1.02ng/umol (levels based on the upper 95% percentile in studies performed by our group in healthy patients).
Timepoint [3] 439980 0
Daily, within the first 30 days after kidney transplantation.
Secondary outcome [4] 439981 0
AKI determined by the kidney biomarkers urinary KIM-1 AND urinary GSTp (composite):
urinary KIM-1 /urinary creatinine (uCr) > 0.1 ng/umol plus urinary GSTp /uCr> 3.67ng/umol (levels based on the upper 95% percentile in studies performed by our group in healthy patients).
Timepoint [4] 439981 0
Daily, within the first 30 days after kidney transplantation.
Secondary outcome [5] 439982 0
AKI determined by the kidney biomarkers KIM-1 AND urinary IL-18 (composite):
urinary KIM-1 /urinary creatinine (uCr) > 0.1 ng/umol plus urinary IL-18 /uCr> 0.003ng/umol (levels based on the upper 95% percentile in studies performed by our group in healthy patients).
Timepoint [5] 439982 0
Daily, within the first 30 days after kidney transplantation.
Secondary outcome [6] 439983 0
The number of histological alterations potentially related to tacrolimus toxicity (as a continuous measurement) at the 12-month protocolar kidney biopsy. The potential alterations include (1) isometric tubular vacuolation, (2) thrombotic microangiopathy, (3) arteriolar hyalinosis, (4) tubular atrophy, (5) interstitial fibrosis and (6) dystrophic calcification. This secondary outcome will be the score represented by the number of the alterations at the 12-m kidney biopsy, from 0 to 6.
Timepoint [6] 439983 0
At the 12-month protocolar kidney biopsy (12 months after kidney transplantation).
Secondary outcome [7] 439984 0
Long-term kidney function determined by serum creatinine
Timepoint [7] 439984 0
At 12 months after kidney transplantation
