Study on the Influence of Changes in Glucolipid Metabolism Parameters on the Incidence of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Renal Transplantation.

Abstract

Objective: Changes in glucolipid metabolism parameters in patients undergoing renal transplantation (RT) and their influences on the incidence of postoperative complications were analysed. The objective was to provide a reference for clinical practice and reliable and safe implementation of RT.

Methods: A total of 131 patients treated with RT at our institution from January 2019 to March 2024 were selected for retrospective analysis: 71 patients who developed postoperative complications (research group) and 60 patients who did not (control group). Differences in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels before and three days after surgery were compared, and their predictive value for postoperative complications was analysed. In addition, relevant factors influencing complications after RT were identified.

Results: HbA1c level changed significantly in neither group after surgery (p > 0.05), but FPG, TG and TC levels increased in both groups (p < 0.05). Differences in FPG and TC levels before and after surgery were larger than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve revealed the excellent diagnostic value of differences in FPG and TC levels for postoperative complications, and logistic regression analysis indicated that such differences were independent risk factors for complications after RT (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: The early evaluation of postoperative complications can be achieved by monitoring differences in FPG and TC levels before and after RT, allowing for the timely formulation and implementation of interventions.
