Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the factors affecting hospitalization of renal transplant patients presenting to the emergency department. Methods: This retrospective study was performed between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2005. Demographic properties, vital parameters, diagnosis and discharge or hospitalization status of the patients were obtained from the hospital registry and recorded. Results: Data of 163 patients were analyzed. Ninety-three (57%) of the participants were male and the mean age 37 years. 128 patients were live-donor recipients and 35 patients were cadaver kidney recipients. As part of immunosuppressive therapy, all patients were receiving corticosteroid therapy. Seventy four of those patients (45%) were on tacrolimus and 89 patients (55%) were on cyclosporine. Urinary tract infection was the most common diagnosis. Sixty-six (40%) of the patients were admitted and six patients died. Logistic regression analysis showed that fever (p=0.018 %95 GA 1.093-2.583) and high pulse rate (p=0.024 %95 GA 1.003-1.042) were predictors of hospitalization. Conclusions: Renal transplant patients presenting to emergency department with fever and high pulse rate should warn the physician about the underlying serious pathology and should be considered for hospitalization.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, acil servise başvuran renal transplant hastalarının hastaneye yatışını etkileyen faktörlerin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 01.01.2005-31.12.2005 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz acil servisine başvuran renal transplant hastaları “mediacil” kayıt sisteminden tespit edildi. Hastaların demografik verileri, vital bulguları, tanıları ve yatıştaburculuk durumları geriye dönük dosya taraması yöntemiyle belirlendi. Bulgular: Toplam 163 hastanın verileri analiz edildi. Hastaların 93’ü (57%) erkekti ve yaş ortalaması 37 olarak saptandı. Hastaların 128’ine canlı vericiden nakil yapılırken 35 hastaya kadavradan nakil yapılmıştı. Tüm hastalar immün baskılama için kortikosteroid alırken 74 (45%) hasta takrolismus, 89 (55%) hasta siklosporin kullanmaktaydı. Hastalar için en sık üriner enfeksiyon tanısı (n=27) konulduğu saptandı. Hastaların 66’sı (40%) hastaneye yatırılırken 6 hasta hayatını kaybetmişti. Lojistik regresyon analizinde ateş yüksekliği (p=0.018 %95 GA 1.093-2.583) ve nabız yüksekliği (p=0.024 %95 GA 1.003-1.042) hastaneye yatış açısından anlamlı parametreler olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: Acil servise başvuran renal transplant hastalarında ateş ve nabız yüksekliği altta yatan ciddi patolojiler ve hastaneye yatış açısından hekimleri uyarıcı olmalıdır.
