Arteriolar hyalinosis lesions (ah) are often interpreted as a sign of calcineurin inhibitor toxicity even though they are induced by other conditions. We studied the features associated with ah-lesions to understand their relationship to diseases, transcript changes, and outcomes. In indication biopsies from 562 patients (3 days-35 years post-transplant), mean ah-scores increased with time of the biopsy post transplant (TxBx) and correlated with atrophy-fibrosis (r=0.31), but unlike atrophy-scarring, failed to increase until after 500 days (Fig. 1). The associations of ah-lesions varied with TxBx: early (<3 months) donor age; >3 years: progressive glomerular diseases (ABMR with cg lesions or GN) (Table 1). In a multivariable model the independent predictors of ah-score were TxBx (p=6 x10-16); glomerular diseases (p=1×10-11); and donor age (p=0.01). Transcripts had poor associations with ah-lesions but in the early period (<3m) ah-lesions correlated weakly with a blunted injury response e.g. reduced expression of AKI transcript HAVCR2, and increased expression of selected microcirculation transcripts e.g. regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5). Association of ah with graft failure was complex: risk was high in ah3 but largely due to glomerular diseases. In the 1-5y period, biopsies with ah0 were at risk, due to ABMR without cg lesions, associated with non-adherence. In a multivariable model, Ah-score is a weak predictor of graft survival (p=0.03) compared to ci-score (p=8.6E-07) and TxBx (p=7.1E-05). Hyalinosis in indication biopsies has paradoxical associations. The previous belief that ah3 indicated progressive CNI toxicity may have been due to failure to recognize glomerular disease due to ABMR.
