Diabetes nephropathy is one of the most common causes of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. The data are clear that kidney transplantation is superior to remaining on dialysis for patients with diabetes. However, there have been no reports on ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation in patients with ESKD due to diabetes nephropathy.
We conducted a retrospective, observational study to investigate the clinical outcomes of ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation for patients with pre-existing diabetes nephropathy at our institution from April 2011 to October 2017. A total of 14 recipients were enrolled in this study.
All 14 patients underwent successful kidney transplantation. Both overall patient and graft survival rates were 100, 89.9, and 89.9% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. One patient died 20 months after transplantation with a functioning graft due to pancreas cancer. Two of the 14 patients (14.3%) developed biopsy-proven acute cellular rejection during the follow-up period. The median observation period was 32.0 months (range 5-83 months).
ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation may be an acceptable renal replacement therapy for ESKD patients with diabetes.
糖尿病肾病是全球终末期肾病(ESKD)最常见的病因之一。数据表明,对于糖尿病患者,肾移植优于继续接受透析治疗。然而,尚无关于糖尿病肾病所致ESKD患者进行ABO血型不相容肾移植的报道。
我们进行了一项回顾性观察研究,以调查2011年4月至2017年10月期间在我院患有糖尿病肾病的患者接受ABO血型不相容肾移植的临床结局。本研究共纳入14例受者。
所有14例患者均成功进行了肾移植。患者总体生存率和移植物生存率在1年、3年和5年时分别为100%、89.9%和89.9%。1例患者在移植20个月后因胰腺癌死亡,移植物功能良好。14例患者中有2例(14.3%)在随访期间发生经活检证实的急性细胞排斥反应。中位观察期为32.0个月(范围5 - 83个月)。
ABO血型不相容肾移植对于糖尿病所致ESKD患者可能是一种可接受的肾脏替代治疗方法。
