Kidney transplantation is the gold standard treatment for end-stage kidney disease in children. Rare genetic systemic diseases associated with cystic kidney disease such as COL4A1-related disorder and oral facial digital syndrome type 1 could contribute to end-stage kidney disease in the pediatric population but there is scarce evidence in the literature regarding kidney transplant outcomes in these cases.
We report a case of a 5-year-old male with COL4A1-related disorder who received a living-related donor kidney transplant from his mother. To our knowledge this is the first reported kidney transplant in a pediatric recipient with COL4A1-related disorder. We also present a case of a 16-year-old female with oral facial digital syndrome type 1 who received a deceased donor kidney transplant.
In this case series, we discuss surgical technique, indication for kidney transplant, influence of comorbidities and intellectual disability in transplant outcomes.
肾移植是儿童终末期肾病的金标准治疗方法。与多囊肾病相关的罕见遗传性全身性疾病,如COL4A1相关疾病和1型口面指综合征,可能导致儿童人群终末期肾病,但文献中关于这些病例肾移植结果的证据很少。
我们报告了一例5岁男性COL4A1相关疾病患者,他接受了来自其母亲的活体亲属供肾移植。据我们所知,这是首例报道的患有COL4A1相关疾病的儿科受者肾移植病例。我们还介绍了一例16岁女性1型口面指综合征患者,她接受了尸体供肾移植。
在本病例系列中,我们讨论了手术技术、肾移植指征、合并症和智力残疾对移植结果的影响。
