Abstract
A 35-year-old patient was diagnosed with biopsy-confirmed, steroid-and rituximab-resistant primary focal-segmental-glomerulosclerosis. While on hemodialysis, diuresis was maintained; proteinuria persisted at 9 g/g creatinine. He underwent kidney transplantation; 2-months post-transplantation, persistent proteinuria (3 g/g creatinine; albuminuria exceeding 50%) was observed. The serum creatinine level was 2.2 mg/dL. The kidney-transplant biopsy was normal. Technetium-99m-dimercaptosuccinic-acid (DMSA) renal scan revealed that native kidneys contributed to 30% of renal function. Irbesartan 150 mg/d/dapagliflozin 10 mg/d was started. Six months post-transplantation, proteinuria progressively increased to 7 to 8 g/g. We therefore decided to implement daily immunoadsorption sessions (11 sessions) followed by rituximab (1 infusion of 350 mg/m²). This allowed partial remission.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
