Abstract EN
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly incident and prevalent in the world.
The death of patients with CKD is primarily due to cardiovascular disease.
Renal transplantation (RT) emerges as the best management alternative for patients with CKD.
However, the incidence of acute renal graft dysfunction is 11.8% of the related living donor and 17.4% of the cadaveric donor.
Anticardiolipin antibodies (ACAs) or antiphospholipid antibodies (APAs) are important risk factors for acute renal graft dysfunction.
The determination of ACA or APA to candidates for RT could serve as prognostic markers of early graft failure and would indicate which patients could benefit from anticoagulant therapy.
Cardiolipin is a fundamental molecule that plays an important role in the adequate conformation of the mitochondrial cristae and the correct assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory supercomplexes and other proteins essential for proper mitochondrial function.
Cardiolipin undergoes a nonrandom oxidation process by having pronounced specificity unrelated to the polyunsaturation pattern of its acyl groups.
Accumulation of hydroxyl derivatives and cardiolipin hydroperoxides has been observed in the affected tissues, and recent studies showed that oxidation of cardiolipin is carried out by a cardiolipin-specific peroxidase activity of cardiolipin-bound cytochrome c.
Cardiolipin could be responsible for the proapoptotic production of death signals.
Cardiolipin modulates the production of energy and participates in inflammation, mitophagy, and cellular apoptosis.
The determination of cardiolipin or its antibodies is an attractive therapeutic, diagnostic target in RT and kidney diseases.
