Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is an uncommon but serious complication that not only affects native kidneys but also transplanted kidneys. This review is specifically focused on post-transplant TMA (PT-TMA) involving kidney transplant recipients. Its reported prevalence in the latter population varies from 0.8% to 14% with adverse impacts on both graft and patient survival. It has many causes and associations, and the list of etiologic agents and associations is growing constantly. The pathogenesis is equally varied and a variety of patho genetic pathways lead to the development of microvascular injury as the final common pathway. PT-TMA is categorized in many ways in order to facilitate its management. Ironically, more than one causes are contributory in PT-TMA and it is often difficult to pinpoint one particular cause in an individual case. Pathologically, the hallmark lesions are endothelial cell injury and intravascular thrombi affecting the microvasculature. Early diagnosis and classification of PT-TMA are imperative for optimal outcomes but are challenging for both clinicians and pathologists. The Banff classification has addressed this issue and has developed minimum diagnostic criteria for pathologic diagnosis of PT-TMA in the first phase. Management of the condition is also challenging and still largely empirical. It varies from simple maneuvers, such as plasmapheresis, drug withdrawal or modification, or dose reduction, to lifelong complement blockade, which is very expensive. A thorough understanding of the condition is imperative for an early diagnosis and quick treatment when the treatment is potentially effective. This review aims to increase the awareness of relevant stakeholders regarding this important, potentially treatable but under-recognized cause of kidney allograft dysfunction.
