Donor Family History of ESKD and Long-term Outcomes Among African American Living Kidney Donors: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Rationale & ObjectiveLive kidney donation is associated with a small increased risk for kidney disease and hypertension in African American donors. We investigated a possible association between donor family history of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and their postdonation kidney function and the development of hypertension. We tested whether this association was modified by kidney donation.Study DesignRetrospective cohort.Setting & ParticipantsFormer African American live kidney donors between 1993 and 2010. Healthy nondonors were selected from the Coronary Artery Disease in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study.ExposureFamily history of ESKD in a first-degree relative.OutcomesKidney function and blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mm Hg or use of antihypertensive medications at follow-up.Analytical ApproachDonors were grouped based on family history of ESKD. Outcomes were first compared between donor groups and then between donors and healthy nondonors matched for demographics, follow-up time, and family history. A mixed-effect model was used to compare outcomes.ResultsOf 179 donors, 139 (78%) had a first degree relative with ESKD. Predonation characteristics were similar between the 2 groups. At a median follow-up of 11 years postdonation, there was no difference in postdonation estimated glomerular filtration rates (68 ± 19 vs 69 ± 13 mL/min/1.73 m2; P = 0.71) and the presence of albuminuria (P = 0.16). There was a trend toward a higher incidence of hypertension (51% vs 35%; P = 0.08) among donors with a family history of ESKD than for those without. Although there was no difference in annual change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.17), the risk for hypertension was higher in donors than nondonors (relative risk, 2.44 [95% CI, 1.56-3.84]), but there was no interaction by family history (P = 0.11).LimitationsRetrospective small study. Lack of data across donor-recipient specific biological relationship.ConclusionsFamily history of ESKD is not associated with postdonation kidney function among African American kidney donors. Live kidney donation is associated with an increased risk for hypertension among African Americans, independent of donor family history of ESKD. Live kidney donation is associated with a small increased risk for kidney disease and hypertension in African American donors. We investigated a possible association between donor family history of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and their postdonation kidney function and the development of hypertension.

Healthy nondonors were selected from the Coronary Artery Disease in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Family history of ESKD in a first-degree relative. Kidney function and blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mm Hg or use of antihypertensive medications at follow-up. Donors were grouped based on family history of ESKD. Outcomes were first compared between donor groups and then between donors and healthy nondonors matched for demographics, follow-up time, and family history.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
