ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical experience of kidney transplantation from donors with Marfan syndrome (MFS). Methods Clinical data of 2 recipients undergoing kidney transplantation from the same MFS patient were retrospectively analyzed and literature review of 2 cases was conducted. Characteristics and clinical diagnosis and treatment of kidney transplantation from MFS patients were summarized. Results The Remuzzi scores of the left and right donor kidneys of the MFS patient during time-zero biopsy were 1 and 2. No significant difference was observed in the renal arteriole wall compared with other donors of brain death and cardiac death. Two recipients who received kidney transplantation from the MFS patient suffered from postoperative delayed graft function. After short-term hemodialysis, the graft function of the recipients received the left and right kidney began to gradually recover at postoperative 10 d and 20 d. After discharge, serum creatinine level of the recipient received the left kidney was ranged from 80 to 90 μmol/L, whereas that of the recipient received the right kidney kept declining, and the lowest serum creatinine level was 232 μmol/L before the submission date (at postoperative 43 d). Through literature review, two cases successfully undergoing kidney transplantation from the same MFS donor were reported. Both two recipients experienced delayed graft function, and then renal function was restored to normal. Until the publication date, 1 recipient has survived for 6 years, and the other recipient died of de novo cerebrovascular disease at postoperative 2 years. Conclusions MFS patients may serve as an acceptable source of kidney donors. However, the willingness and general conditions of the recipients should be carefully evaluated before kidney transplantation. Intraoperatively, potential risk of tear of renal arterial media should be properly treated. Extensive attention should be paid to the incidence of postoperative complications.

ABSTRACT

Ureteral stricture, urine leakage and other urinary complications are likely to occur after kidney transplantation, which severely affect the function of renal allograft and even lead to renal allograft loss. Ureteral stent plays a critical role in kidney transplantation, which could promote the urine flow from kidney to bladder after kidney transplantation, lower the pressure within the ureter and reduce the risk of early urinary complications. However, it may also cause urinary tract infection, stent-related complications and BK virus infection, etc. Therefore, clinicians should flexibly grasp the indications for ureteral stent removal. In this article, the application, potential adverse reactions and the timing of removal of ureteral stent in the field of kidney transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for clinical decision-making related to ureteral stent after kidney transplantation.

ABSTRACT

Objective:Objective To explore the clinical values of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in bacterial 16S rRNA region and fungal ITS region for diagnosing and treating urinary tract infection (UTI) in renal transplant recipients.Methods:A total of 90 mid-stream clean-catch urine samples were collected from renal transplant recipients who were diagnosed with UTI at Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. Each sample was equally divided and tested via NGS method and traditional urine culture separately. The results of pathogen test and detection rate were analyzed and compared.Results:And 21/90 sample were considered to be contaminated due to the identification of three or more kinds of microorganisms by culture. And among the remaining 69 samples, 36 (52.17%) cases tested positive by 16S rRNA sequencing, 25 (36.23%) positive by urine bacterial culture; meanwhile, 34(49.28%) tested positive by ITS sequencing and 4(5.80%) positive by urine fungal culture.Conclusions:The detection rate of both bacteria and fungi in NGS microorganism testing is higher than that in traditional urine culture ( P< 0.05). For renal transplant recipients with UTI, NGS microorganism testing is an effective supplement for traditional urine culture. Improving the detection rate and accuracy of etiology may enable an optimization of individualized treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the incidence and risk factors of de novo malignant tumors in renal transplant recipients. Methods Clinical data of 1 549 renal transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed, including the basic status, pathological type and incidence rate of patients with de novo malignant tumors after renal transplantation. The survival situation of these patiensts was assessed. And the risk factors of de novo malignant tumors after renal transplantation were identified. Results The incidence rate of de novo malignant tumors in renal transplant recipients was 3.03%(47/1 549). The 47 recipients were (48±12) years old when undergoing renal transplantation, and they were (55±12) years old when diagnosed malignant tumors. The time interval between transplantation and diagnosis was 66 (36, 100) months. Among the de novo malignant tumors, colorectal cancer was the most common, with a cumulative incidence rate (CIR) of 0.58%. The survival time of 47 recipients with de novo malignant tumors after renal transplantation was 59 (2, 135) months, and the 5-year survival rate was 50%. The recipients with the age > 45 years old when undergoing renal transplantation was a risk factor for de novo malignant tumors after renal transplantation (P < 0.05). Conclusions The incidence rate of de novo malignant tumors is relatively high in renal transplant recipients. The recipients with the age > 45 years old when undergoing renal transplantation is a risk factor for de novo malignant tumors.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the therapeutic methods of hyperpotassemia induced by excessively high blood concentration of tacrolimus (FK506) caused by drug use after renal transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 10 patients diagnosed with hyperpotassemia induced by excessively high blood concentration of FK506 after administration of antifunga l medication following renal transplantation were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results At 1-2 months after renal transplantation, 10 patients suffered from pulmonary infectiono r pneumonia complicated with pulmonary fungal infection . An appropriate dose of compound sulfamethoxazole, micafungin, cefoperazone sodium-sulbactam sodium and moxifloxacin was administered for antifungal infection. After potassium-lowering therapy, termination of antifungal medication and FK506 dose adjustment (replaced by cyclosporin for certain cases), the serum level of potassium was declined and maintained within normal range for 10 cases. The serum concentration of FK506 was within normal range. No sign of excessively high level of potassium was observed without any potassium-lowering intervention. Conclusions Postoperative administration of drugs is likely to cause excessively high level of FK506 and hyperpotasesmia. Potassium-lowering therapy, termination of drug use and adjustment of immunosuppressive agents should be adopted to avoid the incidence of adverse pharmacologic interaction.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the characteristics of urinary tract infection (UTI) between kidney transplant recipients and non-recipient patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty-nine kidney transplant recipients with UTI (69 episodes) and 401 non-recipient patients with UTI (443 episodes) admitted in Nanfang Hospital from January 2003 to August 2014 were enrolled in the study. The characteristics of UTI were compared between two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In both groups of UTI, female patients comprised a greater proportion (63.3% and 58.6%) and Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen isolated (37.7% and 34.1%). However, the infection rate of Klebsiella pneumonia in recipients was higher than that in non-recipients (11.6% vs 3.2%, P= 0.001), while the infection rate of Candida albicans was lower (1.5% vs 11.3%, P=0.008) than that in non-recipients. Recipients were likely to develop antibiotic resistance and with a higher recurrence rate than non-recipient patients (38.8% vs 16.7%, P<0.001). Compared to non-recipient UTI patients, the symptoms of urinary irritation in recipient UTI patients were more common. There was higher percentage of neutrophil granulocyte (72.65% ± 1.90% vs 68.59% ± 0.73%, P=0.048), lower proportion of lymphocytes (17.73% ± 1.27% vs 21.28% ± 0.61%, P=0.037), and less platelets [(187.64 ± 10.84) × 10(9)/L vs (240.76 ± 5.26) × 10(9)/L, P<0.01] in recipients than in non-recipient UTI patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>These results indicate that the characteristics of UTI in kidney transplantation recipients and non-recipients patients are different.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of donor and recipient anti-major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A (MICA) antibodies on early renal graft function in renal transplant recipients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using Luminex200 liquid chip technology, we detected anti-MICA antibodies in 26 deceased donors paired with 43 recipients. We divided the 43 pairs into 4 groups according to different donor and recipient anti-MICA antibody positivity statuses and compared the incidence of acute rejection (AR), serum creatinine at 1 week after transplantation, and renal function recovery time between the groups to assess the effect of donor and recipient anti-MICA antibodies on early graft function.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Five of the 26 donors were positive for anti-MICA antibodies (19.2%), with the most common antibody being anti-MICA*019 (40%); 11 of the 43 recipients were positive for anti-MICA antibodies (25.6%), among which anti-MICA*018 was most frequently found (14.6%). AR did not occur in the only anti-MICA antibody-positive recipient receiving an anti-MICA antibody-positive donor graft; AR occurred in 2 (33.3%) of the 6 anti-MICA antibody-negative recipients receiving anti-MICA antibody-positive donor graft, in 4 (40%) out of the 10 anti-MICA antibody-positive recipients receiving anti-MICA antibody-negative donor graft, and in 10 (38.4%) of the 26 anti-MICA antibody-negative recipients receiving anti-MICA antibodies-negative donor graft. The incidences of AR were not significantly different between the groups (P>0.05), nor were serum creatinine levels or renal function recovery time at one week after surgery(P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Donor or recipient anti-MICA antibody positivity does not seem to significantly affect the incidence of AR or renal function recovery early after transplantation to justify the necessity of monitoring donor anti-MICA antibodies. But still, large-sample studies are needed to further investigate the potential impact of donor and recipient anti-MICA antibodies on the outcomes of renal transplantation.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the production path of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ chain-related gene A(MICA) antibodies and the impact on the therapeutic efficacy after acute rejection in renal transplantation recipients.Methods Luminex flow cytometry was used to detect antiMICA antibodies and the antibody specificity in 157 pre-transplant kidney transplant recipients randomly selected.The clinical data were collected,anti-MICA antibody production pathway and immunoglobulin types were analyzed,and the impact of IgM anti-MICA antibody and IgM&IgG complex anti-MICA antibodies on acute rejection (AR) incidence and therapeutic efficacy after renal transplantation.Results Of the total 157 recipients,19 recipients were positive for anti-MICA antibodies before renal transplantation in 68 recipients who had history of blood transfusion,pregnancy and transplant sensitized experience (27.9% ); In 89 recipients having no sensitized experience,MICA antibodies were positive in 26 recipients (29.2% ) (P>0.05).In 45 anti-MICA antibody-positive recipients,the anti-MICA antibodies type was IgM in 26 cases having no sensitized experience; and that was IgG and IgM complex in 19 cases having sensitized experience.In 38 antiMICA antibody-positive recipients undergoing kidney transplantation,7 out of 22 IgM anti-MICA antibodies recipients had AR (31.8%) that was reversed by methylprednisolone pulse therapy,and 7out of 16 IgM&IgG complex anti-MICA antibodies recipients had AR (43.8%) and treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy:reversion in 3 recipients (42.9%),and the graft function loss in 4 recipients.The AR incidence was not associated with the two immunoglobulin types of MICA antibodies(P>0.05),but there was significant difference in the reversal rate of AR (P<0.05).Conclusion For non-allergenic history recipients,there exists the classic “natural antibodies” pathway in the production of the anti-MICA antibodies whose immunoglobulin type was IgM.In addition,the reversal effect of AR in recipients with IgM anti-MICA antibodies was much better.We need to attach importance to IgM&IgG complex anti-MICA antibodies for the pre-transplant anti-MICA antibodies in renal transplant recipients,because their AR treatment outcome is poor.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the influence of major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA) antibodies on acute rejection (AR) and renal function in early stage after renal transplantation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 197 renal transplant candidates admitted in Nanfang Hospital in 2009-2010 were enrolled in this study. MICA antibodies and their specificity were detected in all the patients, and 139 patients were followed up for early acute rejection (AR) and graft function after transplantation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>MICA antibodies were positive before transplantation in 45 candidates (22.84%). Eleven specific MICA antibodies were identified, among which the frequency of MICA019 antibody (65.7%) was significantly higher than that of MICA015 (8.6%) and MICA017 (8.6%) (P<0.01). Eighteen patients with positive MICA antibodies were single-specific and 17 were polyspecific (51.4% vs 48.6% ). Of the 139 patients undergoing renal transplantation, 39 developed early AR (28.1%). Of the 45 candidates positive for MICA antibodies, 38 received renal transplantation and early AR occurred in 14 of them (36.8%); 101 of 152 candidates negative for MICA antibodies underwent renal transplantation, and 25 experienced early AR (24.8%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>MICA019 antibody is a frequent MICA antibody possibly due to the high frequency MICA019 gene in Chinese population.</p>
