RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The recurrence of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) after kidney transplantation (KT) has an effect on graft survival, but there are few reports about long-term clinical outcomes of KT with recurrent IgAN. This study shows the long-term clinical outcomes of KT in patients with IgAN. METHODS: All recipients who had biopsy-proven IgAN were followed from February 1990 to February 2016. We analyzed overall graft and patient survival rates, incidence of recurrent IgAN, factors affecting graft survival, and IgAN recurrence. RESULTS: There were 88 patients with first KT. The mean follow-up duration was 82.5 months. Twenty patients went through graft loss and 1 patient died due to sepsis. IgAN recurred in 15 patients, and 11 patients experienced graft failure. Among the patients who had failed graft after first KT, 7 patients underwent retransplantation. The graft survival period, presence of rejection, and proteinuria were the relevant risk factors for recurrence of IgAN. In the first KT patients, presence of rejection and 1-year serum creatinine were the significant risk factors for graft loss. But recurrence of IgAN was not a relevant risk factor. Overall graft survival rates at 5 and 10 years were 93.8% and 73.1% in the first transplantation group and 100% and 100% in the retransplantation group, respectively. CONCLUSION: Although IgAN recurrence was a significant risk factor for graft failure, the patient who underwent retransplantation showed favorable results. Retransplantation should be considered in patients who lost their first graft after recurrence of IgAN.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Kidney re-transplantation is commonly considered to have a higher immunological risk than first kidney transplantation. Because of the organ shortage and increasing waiting lists, long-term outcomes of kidney re-transplantation are being studied. However, reports of re-transplantation outcomes are not common. We have reported our 30 years of experience with second kidney transplantations. METHODS: Of 1210 kidney transplantations between November 1982 and August 2016 performed in our hospital, 105 were second kidney transplantations (2nd KT). Living donor KT was 44; deceased donor KT was 61. RESULTS: Patient survival rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 100%, 97.2%, and 90.7%, and graft survival rates were 97.0%, 94.6%, and 71.5%, respectively. The leading cause of graft failure in the 2nd KT was chronic rejection (60%). In addition, induction immunosuppressant, maintenance immunosuppressant, delayed graft function, and graft survival time at the 1st KT had a significant impact on graft survival time at the 2nd KT. CONCLUSIONS: Reasonable results in both patient survival and graft survival rates were found in the 2nd KT. Careful monitoring of immunologic risk is needed.

RESUMO

Disseminated adenovirus infection in recipients of renal transplants is a rare but often fatal complication. We present a case of a 32-year-old woman who underwent renal transplantation from a deceased donor. Ten months after transplantation, she presented with dysuria, hematuria, and febrile illness. Despite the use of antibiotics, the patient's symptoms continued and worsened and the serum creatinine level was increased. The results of urine and serum polymerase chain reaction were positive for adenovirus. Renal biopsy revealed viral interstitial nephritis. The patient was treated with ribavirin, intravenous immunoglobulin, and reduction in immunosuppression. Her symptoms progressively improved from 7 days after the treatment. Serum and urine polymerase chain reaction for adenovirus became negative 10 and 21 days after the treatment, respectively. She remained in good health with excellent allograft function 6 months later.

RESUMO

High selectivity provided by biomolecules such as antibodies and enzymes has been exploited during the last two decades for development of biosensors. Of particular importance are efficient immobilization methods for biomolecules in order to preserve their biological activities. In this study, we have evaluated immobilization strategies for an anti-DNA antibody on a self-assembled monolayer of omega-functionalized thiols. The antibody was immobilized via peptide bond formation between the primary amines in the antibody and the carboxyl groups on the self-assembled monolayer. The peptide bond coupling was achieved by activating COOH groups on the surface through N-Hydroxysuccimide (NHS)-ester formation, followed by acylation of NH2 group in the antibody. DNA binding activity of the immobilized antibody was examined by counting beta emission from 35S-labeled DNA.
