چکیده
objectives the aim of this study was to examine the effects of interleukin 2 receptor blockers on patient and graft survival in renal-transplanted children. patients and methods one hundred and eighty six children aged 7-13 years who received renal transplantation in university-affiliated hospital between 2003 and 2012 were enrolled in the study. all patients received prednisolone, cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine as basic immunosuppressive therapy. patients were divided into two groups according to receiving induction therapy with il2-receptor blockers. we investigated for acute rejection episodes, cytomegalovirus (cmv) and bk virus infection and one and three year’s survival of the patients and the grafts background monoclonal antibodies block interleukin-2 receptors on alloantigen-reactive t-lymphocytes and induce selective immunosuppression. it is postulated that induction therapy with these agents in pediatric transplantation may decrease acute rejection and improve graft survival with no significant side effect or increase in the incidence of viral infections. conclusions induction therapy with il2-r blockers reduced the rate of early acute rejection, but had no effect on late acute rejections. patient and graft survival were better in treated group, but did not reach statistical significance. a longer period of follow-up may be required to discern a clear advantage for induction therapy with these agents. results from 186 renal-transplanted children included in this study, 36 patients were in treated group (group 1) and 150 patients in control group (group 2). the mean age of the patients was 10.4 ± 2 years and 55.6% were males. in first six months of transplantation, eight patients in group one had one episode of acute rejection and no one had two episodes. early acute rejection rate was 8.36 (22%). in the control group, 37 patients had one episode and three patients had two episodes of acute rejection (rejection rate 28.6%). therefore, early acute rejection rates were lower in group one. late acute rejection rates did not show any difference in group 1 and group 2 (27.7% vs. 27.3% respectively). there was lower prevalence of steroid-resistance rejection in group 1 patients (5.5%) compared with 6.6% in group 2, but it did not reach statistical significance. none of the patients in il2-r blocker group died at one year follow-up (patient survival 100%). however, in control group, four (2.6%) patients died toward the end of first year (patient survival 97.4%). when patients in group 1 and group 2 were age and sex matched with equal number the difference was significant (p < 0.05).
