We summarized our experience with ABO-incompatible living kidney transplant recipients from spousal donors receiving rituximab.
Between June 2006 and December 2014, 82 patients with end-stage renal disease underwent living donor kidney transplantation at Osaka City University Hospital, of which 23 cases were ABO-incompatible transplantation between spouses with rituximab induction. We analyzed these recipients, focusing on their immunosuppressive protocols, frequency of acute rejections, and patient/graft survivals.
Patient and graft survival rates were 100%. The incidence of acute cellular rejection (ACR) was 30.4%. One patient experienced antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and intractable ACR, 2 had AMR, and 2 had intractable ACR episodes that were treated using thymoglobulin.
This study demonstrated that ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation between spouses using rituximab is a radical but effective treatment for end-stage renal disease. However, this procedure could be immunologically high risk due to ABO-incompatibility and poor histocompatibility.
我们总结了接受利妥昔单抗的配偶活体供肾ABO血型不相容肾移植受者的经验。
2006年6月至2014年12月期间,82例终末期肾病患者在大阪市立大学医院接受了活体供肾移植,其中23例为配偶间ABO血型不相容移植并采用利妥昔单抗诱导治疗。我们对这些受者进行了分析,重点关注其免疫抑制方案、急性排斥反应的发生率以及患者/移植物存活率。
患者和移植物存活率均为100%。急性细胞排斥反应(ACR)的发生率为30.4%。1例患者发生了抗体介导的排斥反应(AMR)和难治性ACR,2例发生了AMR,2例发生了难治性ACR发作,使用抗胸腺细胞球蛋白进行了治疗。
本研究表明,配偶间使用利妥昔单抗进行ABO血型不相容肾移植是治疗终末期肾病的一种激进但有效的方法。然而,由于ABO血型不相容和组织相容性差,该手术在免疫方面可能具有较高风险。
