Prevalence of Intrapapillary Mucinous Neoplasm in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: 95

INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in the general population ranges from 3.3%–9.8%. In patients undergoing liver transplant evaluation, overall prevalence is documented to be 6.6%. So far, the suggested risk factors for IPMN include diabetes, family history of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and tobacco use. We aim to study the prevalence and risk factors for IPMN formation in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with CKD who had MRIs of the abdomen performed between the dates of 1/2018 and 12/2018. Independent chart review was conducted and various demographic, clinical, and imaging metrics were extracted. Overall, the prevalence of IPMN was calculated. A student's t-test and chi-square test were used to compare the IPMN group to non-IPMN group. RESULTS: A total of 400 patients were reviewed. The total prevalence of IPMN in CKD patients was 13.7% (55/400). In 68% of the study patients, the MRI was done for a kidney transplant evaluation. The average age of patients in the study was 58 ± 14 years, 59% were male and 52% patients were on dialysis. Diabetes and Hypertension accounted for 26% and 45% of CKD respectively. In patients with IPMNs, the average size was 10 ± 5.7 mm; 45% were located in the head, 33% in the body and 22% in the tail. Notably, 16% were main duct IPMNs, 80% were side branch IPMNs and 4% patients had mixed (MD + SB) IPMNs. Amongst the patients with IPMNs, 7.5% of patients had associated high-risk features and were referred for endoscopic ultrasound. Comparison of the IPMN group to non-IPMN group is shown in Table 1. IPMNs were most commonly observed in elderly patients. Gender, dialysis status, etiology of CKD, smoking and alcohol intake did not seem to impact the prevalence of IPMN in CKD patients. CONCLUSION: Patients with CKD have a higher prevalence of IPMNs than the general population. We further aim to confirm this interval data with our age and gender matched control group without CKD.
