Significant Long-Term Prevention of High Sensitization After Kidney Allograft Failure by Maintaining Calcineurin Inhibitor-Based Immunosuppression
Introduction
Broad national or international programs contribute to mitigating the expected longer waiting list (WL) time for sensitized patients but with minor benefits for highly sensitized subjects. Therefore, strategies to prevent high sensitization are urgently required. In this study, we investigated the risk of developing highly sensitized patients with different immunosuppressive (IS) handling after kidney allograft failure (KAF).
Methods
Data from 185 patients with KAF, retransplanted/relisted from 2010 to 2020 in two regions of Italy that share the same regional WL, were analyzed. Patients were categorized according to IS management at 12 months after KAF as follows: patients maintaining IS with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) (late withdrawal group [LWG], n = 58) and those who withdrew all IS therapy or were on steroids only (early withdrawal group [EWG], n = 127).
Results
Patients in the LWG showed lower panel reactive antibodies (PRA) at 12 (29.0% vs. 85.5%, p < 0.001) and 24 months (61.0% vs. 91.0%, p = 0.001), reduced risk of high sensitization (PRA ≥90%) at 12 (9.4% vs. 40.7%, p < 0.001, OR = 0.15) and 24 months (25.6% vs. 57.3%, p = 0.001, OR = 0.26) and almost no very high sensitization (PRA ≥ 98%) at 12 months (1.9% vs. 18.6%, p = 0.003, OR = 0.08) after KAF. In the LWG subgroup analysis, patients who maintained IS for up to 24 months after KAF did not show very high sensitization. The LWG showed shorter active WL times (406 vs. 813 days, p = 0.001) without an increased risk of complications.
Conclusions
CNI maintenance for at least 12 months after KAF could be a useful approach to prevent high sensitization and reduce WL times in patients who are offered retransplantation, without a higher burden of complications.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
