Posttransplant thrombotic microangiopathy (PT-TMA) can be caused by calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), ischemic injury, infections, or antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Delayed recognition can result in allograft loss. We describe the first reported case of successful reversal of refractory PT-TMA with eculizumab in India. It highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and benefit from an early initiation of eculizumab therapy in refractory cases.
移植后血栓性微血管病(PT-TMA)可由钙调神经磷酸酶抑制剂(CNIs)、缺血性损伤、感染或抗体介导的排斥反应(ABMR)引起。诊断延迟可导致移植器官丧失。我们描述了印度首例使用依库珠单抗成功逆转难治性PT-TMA的报道病例。它强调了及时诊断的重要性以及在难治性病例中早期启动依库珠单抗治疗的益处。
