Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Advances in the development of more effective immunosuppressive drugs have increased graft survival and drug induced adverse effects. Haematological complications including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anaemia are common side effects that affect the grafts' and patients' outcomes. Several studies have stated the important role of various medications in haematological complications after transplantation. They have reported the incidence and different mechanisms of drug induced cytopenia, as well as an overview of possible treatment modalities. However, there is no comprehensive protocol for the management of these complications following transplantation. This narrative review was performed to develop a comprehensive practical approach for management of drug induced haematological complications following solid organ transplantation. METHOD PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Google scholar databases were searched without time limitations until March, 2021. In addition, some valid drug information data bases (Uptodate and Micromedex) were searched for detailed information until October, 2021. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Several immunosuppressive and antimicrobial medications may induce neutropenia, thrombocytopenia or anaemia following transplantation. Most of these agents cause dose-related cytopenia, which resolves with dose reduction or drug withdrawal. However, any change in medications may result in negative consequences such as severe infections, bleeding, cardiovascular complications, acute allograft rejection, and graft or patient loss. Thus, cautious evaluation of the patient's condition and the pharmacological properties of the culprit medication are required. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Three algorithms are presented to guide healthcare providers in the stepwise management of drug-induced neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anaemia after solid organ transplantation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Routine crossmatch of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) is completed preoperatively at many centers despite conflicting evidence on the incidence of blood transfusions with renal transplantation. In the current economic climate, resource adjudication should be judicious and medically appropriate. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, timing, and predictors of early postoperative pRBC transfusion in patients undergoing renal transplantation. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients undergoing renal transplantation at our institution from January 2013 to May 2016 was performed. Demographic, biochemical, and clinical parameters were recorded. The primary outcome was early postoperative transfusion, defined as an intraoperative transfusion or within 2 days of surgery. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify associations with early postoperative transfusion. RESULTS We identified 428 patients during the study period (average age 55 years, 60% male, 30% obese, 67% deceased donor, and 43% preoperative antithrombotic use). Forty (9.3%) patients required early postoperative transfusion (mean: 2.8 pRBCs/transfusion) and most did not require blood urgently. Only 20 (4.7%) patients required a transfusion intraoperatively or on the same day of surgery. Lower preoperative hemoglobin (per g/L unit: odds ratio [OR]: 0.943), female gender (OR: 2.752), and preoperative antithrombotic use (OR 2.369) were associated with a need for early postoperative transfusion. CONCLUSION Transfusion in the early postoperative period following renal transplantation was less than 10%, suggesting that routine crossmatch may not be necessary for all patients. Preoperative hemoglobin, female gender, and preoperative antithrombotic use were associated with increased risk and may be useful to risk-stratify patients who require crossmatch.

Abstract
Background Delayed graft function (DGF) is an important complication of kidney transplantation and can be diagnosed according to different definitions. DGF has been suggested to be associated with the long-term outcome of kidney transplantation surgery. However, the best DGF definition for predicting renal transplant outcomes in Chinese donations after cardiac death (DCDs) remains to be determined. Method A total of 372 DCD kidney transplant recipients from June 2013 to July 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University were included in this retrospective study to compare 6 different DGF definitions. The relationships of the DGF definitions with transplant outcome were analyzed, including graft loss (GL) and death-censored graft loss (death-censored GL). Renal function indicators, including one-year estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and three-year eGFR, and were compared between different DGF groups. Results The incidence of DGF varied from 4.19 to 35.22% according to the different DGF diagnoses. All DGF definitions were significantly associated with three-year GL as well as death-censored GL. DGF based on requirement of hemodialysis within the first week had the best predictive value for GL (AUC 0.77), and DGF based on sCr variation during the first 3 days post-transplant had the best predictive value for three-year death-censored GL (AUC 0.79). Combination of the 48-h sCr reduction ratio and classical DGF can improve the AUC for GL (AUC 0.85) as well as the predictive accuracy for death-censored GL (83.3%). Conclusion DGF was an independent risk factor for poor transplant outcome. The combination of need for hemodialysis within the first week and the 48-h serum creatinine reduction rate has a better predictive value for patient and poor graft outcome.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether anemia identified earlier than 3 months postengraftment in modern era could be predictive of anemia at 12 months. Cross-sectional and cohort studies based on retrospective analysis of existing clinical records were performed. Data on recipient's age at transplantation, follow-up serum creatinine (SCR) and hemoglobin (Hb) on day 7 (D7), at month 1 (M1) and at month 3 (M3) postengraftment were collected. Outcome was anemia identified at 12 months (M12) postengraftment. There were 75 patients on D7, 74 at M1 and 61 at M3. Multiple linear regression model that included recipient's age at transplantation, Hb and creatinine on D7 and tested the risk for anemia at M12 retained only the age in the model, with the coefficient of 0,84 (P=0,001). The same model at M1 retained Hb and age, with the coefficients of 0,26 (P=0,03) and 0,81 (P=0,0002), respectively and at M3 it retained Hb and age, with the coefficients of 0,41 (P=0,004) and 0,70 (P=0,003), respectively. Anemia identified at M1 after renal transplantation is predictive of anemia at M12.

Abstract
Posttransplant anemia is a common problem that may hinder patients' quality of life. It occurs in 12 to 76% of patients, and is most common in the immediate posttransplant period. A variety of factors have been identified that increase the risk of posttransplant anemia, of which the level of renal function is most important. Sirolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, has been implicated as playing a special role in posttransplant anemia. This review considers anemia associated with sirolimus, including its presentation, mechanisms, and management.

Abstract
Background Post-transplant anaemia remains a common problem after kidney transplantation, with an incidence ranging from nearly 80% at day 0 to about 25% at 1 year. It has been associated with poor graft outcome, and recently has also been shown to be associated with increased mortality. Our transplant unit routinely administers oral iron supplements to renal transplant recipients but this is frequently accompanied by side effects, mainly gastrointestinal intolerance. Intravenous iron is frequently administered to dialysis patients and we sought to investigate this mode of administration in transplant recipients after noticing less anaemia in several patients who had received intravenous iron just prior to being called in for transplantation. Methods This study is a single-centre, prospective, open-label, randomised, controlled trial of oral versus intravenous iron supplements in renal transplant recipients and aims to recruit approximately 100 patients over a 12-month period. Patients will be randomised to receive a single dose of 500 mg iron polymaltose (intravenous iron group) or 2 ferrous sulphate slow-release tablets daily (oral iron group). The primary outcome is time to normalisation of haemoglobin post-transplant. Prospective power calculations have indicated that a minimum of 48 patients in each group would have to be followed up for 3 months in order to have a 90% probability of detecting a halving of the time to correction of haemoglobin levels to ≥110 g/l in iron-treated patients, assuming an α of 0.05. All eligible adult patients undergoing renal transplantation at the Princess Alexandra Hospital will be offered participation in the trial. Exclusion criteria will include iron overload (transferrin saturation >50% or ferritin >800 μg/l), or previous intolerance of either oral or intravenous iron supplements. Discussion If the trial shows a reduction in the time to correction of anaemia with intravenous iron or less side effects than oral iron, then intravenous iron may become the standard of treatment in this patient group.

Abstract
Delayed graft function (DGF) describes dysfunction of the kidney allograft immediately after transplantation and is the most common complication in the immediate posttransplantation period. Although a standardized definition for DGF is lacking, it is most commonly defined as the need for dialysis within the first week after transplant. DGF is caused by a variety of factors related to the donor and recipient as well as organ procurement techniques. The occurrence of DGF affects both allograft and patient outcomes. In addition to prolonging hospital stay and increasing the costs associated with transplantation, DGF is associated with an increased incidence of acute rejection after transplantation and is associated with poorer long-term graft outcomes. Both immunologic and nonimmunologic mechanisms contribute to DGF. The risk factors for DGF that have been identified are reviewed as well as the impact of DGF on long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The term delayed graft function (DGF) is commonly used to describe the need for dialysis after receiving a kidney transplant. DGF increases morbidity after transplantation, prolongs hospitalization and may lead to premature graft failure. Various definitions of DGF are used in the literature without a uniformly accepted technique to identify DGF. METHODS We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify all of the different definitions and diagnostic techniques to identify DGF. RESULTS We identified 18 unique definitions for DGF and 10 diagnostic techniques to identify DGF. CONCLUSIONS The utilization of heterogeneous clinical criteria to define DGF has certain limitations. It will lead to delayed and sometimes inaccurate diagnosis of DGF. Hence a diagnostic test that identifies DGF reliably and early is necessary. Heterogeneity, in the definitions used for DGF, hinders the evolution of a diagnostic technique to identify DGF, which requires a gold standard definition. We are in need of a new definition that is uniformly accepted across the kidney transplant community. The new definition will be helpful in promoting better communication among transplant professionals and aids in comparing clinical studies of diagnostic techniques to identify DGF and thus may facilitate clinical trials of interventions for the treatment of DGF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and predictive factors for post-transplant anemia (PTA) at 6 (M6) and 12 (M12) months after orthotopic liver-transplant (OLT) in a cohort of 97 consecutive patients. METHODS Anemia was defined at M6 and M12 according to the World Health Organization criteria, i.e., a hemoglobin level of <12 g/dL for women and <13 g/dL for men. Immunosuppression relied on tacrolimus and steroids with or without mycophenolate mofetil. RESULTS Anemia was present in 64.5%, 50%, and 52.8% of patients before OLT and at M6 and M12, respectively. Of the anemic patients, 33% (M6) and 30.3% (M12) received recombinant erythropoietin therapy. In multivariate analysis, the independent predictive factors for anemia at M6 were mean corpuscular volume (<85 fl) at day 7, daily steroid dosage (<0.3 mg/kg), serum creatinine (>130 micromol/L), and hemoglobin level (<11 g/dL) 1 month after OLT (M1). Independent predictive factors for anemia at M12 were daily steroid dosage at M1 (<0.3 mg/kg), hematocrit at M1 (<33%), red blood cell count at M6 (<3.75 T/L), daily dosage at M1 of cyclosporine and tacrolimus, and OLT for causes other than alcohol abuse. CONCLUSION Anemia is highly prevalent within the first year post-OLT. This deserves further investigation and appropriate treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Switching from calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) to sirolimus might improve renal function in chronic renal transplant patients. METHODS In a prospective study, we assessed long-term efficacy and safety parameters in 43 renal transplant recipients who were switched from a CNI (cyclosporin A, 65%; and tacrolimus, 35%) to sirolimus for either chronic allograft dysfunction (n = 38) or recurrent cutaneous cancers (n = 5). A kidney biopsy was done in 79% of patients prior to conversion, and showed either chronic allograft nephropathy (n = 26) or CNI nephrotoxicity (n = 7). Conversion was either abrupt or progressive, with CNI withdrawal over 3 weeks. All patients also received steroids with or without mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprin. Patient data were recorded at baseline (D0), at 1 (D30) and 6 months (D180), and at 1, 1.5 and 2 years post-conversion. RESULTS After a mean post-conversion follow-up of 27+/-1.5 months, 58% of the patients were still on sirolimus. The survival of intent to treat patients and grafts was 95.3 and 93%, respectively. Overall, there was significant improvement in renal function, creatinine clearance increasing from 49.4+/-14.9 to 53+/-16.3 ml/min at D30 (P = 0.01), and to 54.7+/-20 ml/min at D180 (P = 0.01). Thereafter, creatinine clearance was not different from baseline, i.e. 54.7+/-21.7, 52.8+/-20 and 51.7+/-20.3 ml/min at years 1, 1.5 and 2, respectively. We divided the patients into two groups: responders (n = 29), those with an increase in creatinine clearance at 6 months post-conversion compared with D0, and non-responders (n = 14), those with a decrease in creatinine clearance at 6 months post-conversion compared with D0. In univariate analysis, factors predictive of response included proteinuria at D0 and the magnitudes of the differences between D30 and D0 for serum creatinine and lactate dehydrogenase. The conversion was associated with (i) significant decreases in serum calcium, phosphorus and uric acid, and in haemoglobin levels; (ii) significant increases in serum alkaline phosphatase, total cholesterol, parathyroid hormone, and the number of patients on statin and recombinant erythropoietin therapies; and (iii) the appearance of de novo proteinuria of >1 g/day in 28% of patients (P < 0.0009), which was >2 g/day in 12% of the entire cohort. Kidney biopsies in 17 patients 2 years after conversion showed the same Banff scores as observed at baseline. We identified three independent predictive factors for a renal response to the switch: absence of proteinuria, presence of antihypertensive therapy at D0 and serum lactate dehydrogenase level at D30. CONCLUSION Conversion from CNIs to sirolimus in renal transplant patients with chronic allograft nephropathy was associated with improved renal function; however, 33% of the patients developed overt proteinuria.
