African American polycystic kidney patients receive higher risk kidneys, but do not face increased risk for graft failure or post-transplant mortality

African Americans (AA) are disproportionately affected by end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and have worse outcomes following renal transplantation. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic condition leading to ESRD necessitating transplant. We explored this population with respect to race by conducting a retrospective analysis of the UNOS database between 2005 and 2019. Our study included 10,842 (AA n = 1661; non-AA n = 9181) transplant recipients whose primary diagnosis was ADPKD. We further stratified the AA ADPKD population with respect to blood groups (AA blood type B n = 295 vs AA non-B blood type n = 1366), and also compared this cohort to AAs with a diagnosis of DM (n = 16,706) to identify unique trends in the ADPKD population. We analyzed recipient and donor characteristics, generated survival curves, and conducted multivariate analyses. African American ADPKD patients waited longer for transplants (924 days vs 747 days P < .001), and were more likely to be on dialysis (76% vs 62%; p < .001). This same group was also more likely to have AA donors (21% vs 9%; p < .001) and marginally higher KDPI kidneys (0.48 vs 0.45; p < .001). AA race was a risk factor for delayed graft function (DGF), increasing the chance of DGF by 45% (OR 1.45 95% CI 1.26-1.67; p < .001). AA race was not associated with graft failure (HR 1.10 95% CI 0.95-1.28; p = .21) or patient mortality (HR 0.84 95% CI 0.69-1.03; p = .09). Racial disparities exist in the ADPKD population. They should be continually studied and addressed to improve transplant equity.
