Pediatric Renal Transplantation in a Highly Sensitised Child—8 Years On
Highly sensitised children have markedly reduced chances of receiving a successful deceased donor renal transplant, increased risk of rejection, and decreased graft survival. There is limited experience with the long-term followup of children who have undergone desensitization. Following 2 failed transplants, our patient was highly sensitised. She had some immunological response to intravenous ...
متن کاملLiving-donor kidney transplant in T-cell and B-cell flow cytometry crossmatch-positive patients.
OBJECTIVES Complement-dependent cytotoxic crossmatch is an important indicator for kidney transplant. However, there is controversy about treatment for flow cytometry crossmatch-positive cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 127 living-donor kidney transplant recipients from May 2007 to July 2011. We divided patients into 115 flow cytometry crossmatch T-cell and B-cel...
متن کاملThe Role of the Crossmatch in Kidney Transplantation: Past, Present and Future
Immunogenetic characterization of the transplant recipient with crossmatch is used to minimize graft loss by detecting preformed antibodies. Use of increasingly sensitive tests including flow cytometry crossmatch (FCXM) has been accompanied by near elimination of hyperacute rejection. We reviewed associations of crossmatch results with kidney graft outcomes in contemporary practice, and provide...
متن کاملThe role of positive flow cytometry crossmatch in late renal allograft loss.
Many studies relating flow cytometery crossmatch (FCXM) results to kidney transplant outcomes have examined risk in the first 3 to 12 months. We used Organ Procurement and Transplant Network registry data for 66,594 kidney transplants from 1995 to 2007 to investigate associations of T-cell positive (T+) and T-cell negative/B-cell positive (T(-)B+) FCXM with graft failure risk early (years 0-1) ...
متن کاملCombined liver-kidney transplantation and the effect of preformed lymphocytotoxic antibodies.
Thirty-eight sequentially placed liver and kidney allografts were evaluated with respect to patient and graft survival, and the influence of preformed lymphocytotoxic antibodies was analysed. The results suggest that the survival rate of combined liver and kidney transplantation is similar to the survival rate of liver transplantation alone. Sequentially placed kidney allografts may be protecte...
