Antibody-Mediated Kidney Allograft Rejection
Successful kidney transplantation improves the quality of life and increases survival when compared with long-term dialysis. Renal transplantation is now a well established and the preferred treatment for most patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In recent years, the short-term effects of kidney transplantation have been greatly achieved due to the improvement in immunosuppression medi...
متن کاملAntibody Mediated Rejection of the Cardiac Allograft
Antibody mediated rejection (AMR), also known as B-cell mediated rejection or humoral rejection, of the cardiac allograft was first clinically described in the late 1980’s (Herskowitz et al., 1987) followed shortly thereafter by pathologic evidence to support a unique rejection process apart from cellular mechanisms (Hammond et al., 1989). This is in contrast to the progression of knowledge reg...
متن کاملPlasmapheresis and Intravenous Immunoglobulin in the Treatment and Prevention of Antibody Mediated Rejection
Background: Acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a rare complication which often results in the loss of kidney graft. The objective of this retrospective monocentric study was to evaluate three different approaches to AMR. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated data files from 1226 patients who had undergone renal transplantation in 1/2002 – 12/2008. In 2002 2003, patients with AMR were tr...

results during 2014, we encountered five patients with suspicious amr or tma at our kidney transplant center. renal biopsy was performed for two of them, suggesting amr for one patient and tma for another patient. all patients were treated with plasmapheresis plus ivig. in this center, as a routine practice, the cumulative dose of 2 g/kg of ivig was divided to 300 - 400 mg/kg after each plasmap...
متن کاملAntibody-mediated renal allograft rejection: diagnosis and pathogenesis.
Alloantibodies to HLA class I or II and other antigens expressed by endothelium cause a variety of effects on renal transplants, ranging from acute to chronic rejection, and even apparent graft acceptance (accommodation). Recognition of these conditions and appropriate therapy requires demonstration of C4d in biopsies, commonly confirmed by tests for circulating alloantibody. Substantial practi...
