ABO-incompatible kidney transplantations (ABOiKTxs) seem to have better long-term outcomes than positive crossmatch kidney transplantations (+XMKTxs).
This study aimed to assess the differences in chronic injury on histologic findings on 1- and 5-year surveillance biopsies and the clinical outcomes in living-donor kidney transplantations performed between May 1999 and November 2006 including 102 +XMKTxs, 73 ABOiKTxs, and 652 conventional KTxs.
Although 5-year patient survival was similar between groups, graft loss between 1 and 5 years was similar in ABOiKTx (2.6% per year) and conventional KTx (1.7% per yr), and both were lower than that of +XMKTx (5.8% per year). At 5 years, renal function was similar in ABOiKTx and conventional KTx, and both were higher than that of +XMKTx, which had higher rates of inflammation and chronic glomerulopathy on both 1- and 5-year biopsies. Despite having evidence of less chronic injury, ABOiKTx showed a higher rate of intragraft complement activation (C4d deposition) at 5 years compared with +XMKTx (77.8% vs. 18.9%, P<0.001).
These data suggest that +XMKTxs have high rates of chronic inflammation at 1 and 5 years after transplantation, which may explain the higher rates of graft loss and lower renal function compared with other factors such as anti-donor antibody or intragraft complement deposition.
ABO 不相容肾移植(ABOiKTxs)似乎比正交叉配型肾移植(+XMKTxs)具有更好的长期结果。
本研究旨在评估在 1999 年 5 月至 2006 年 11 月期间进行的活体供肾移植中,1 年和 5 年随访活检的组织学发现中的慢性损伤差异以及临床结果,包括 102 例+XMKTxs、73 例 ABOiKTxs 和 652 例常规 KTx。
尽管各组患者 5 年生存率相似,但 ABOiKTx(每年 2.6%)和常规 KTx(每年 1.7%)在 1 至 5 年内的移植物丢失率相似,均低于+XMKTx(每年 5.8%)。在 5 年时,ABOiKTx 和常规 KTx 的肾功能相似,均高于+XMKTx,后者在 1 年和 5 年活检中均显示出更高的炎症和慢性肾小球病变发生率。尽管有证据表明慢性损伤较轻,但与+XMKTx 相比,ABOiKTx 在 5 年内移植肾内补体激活(C4d 沉积)的发生率更高(77.8%比 18.9%,P<0.001)。
这些数据表明,+XMKTxs 在移植后 1 年和 5 年时有较高的慢性炎症发生率,这可能解释了与其他因素(如抗供体抗体或移植肾内补体沉积)相比,+XMKTxs 更高的移植物丢失率和较低的肾功能。
