UNOS/OPTN data guided assessment of IgA nephropathy recurrence after kidney transplantation and evaluation of immunosuppressive protocols in a steroid free center
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common recurrent glomerulopathies associated with graft loss and patient survival after kidney transplantation (KT). Steroid withdrawal regimens in KT have been associated with improvements of patient outcomes. The Scripps Center for Organ Transplantation (SCOT) utilizes a rapid low-dose steroid withdrawal immunosuppression (IS) protocol for KT maintenance. We assessed the impact of our protocol on IgAN recurrence over a 10-year period to reassess our steroid withdrawal and IS protocols to see if outcomes diverged from available UNOS data. Therefore, we used IS and induction matched retrospective data from UNOS to investigate patient and graft survival for IgAN. SCOT recurrence rates for IgAN was 13.6%. Overall outcomes of graft failure and recipient death did not differ between SCOT patients and data obtained from steroid free transplants from UNOS. Our results differ from earlier studies showing IgAN was associated with a higher risk of graft loss, perhaps due to selection of a SCOT IS matched dataset. Based on our analysis, we believe that it is safe to continue the steroid avoidance protocols at SCOT and think that it may be beneficial, given the adverse effects and toxicities associated with steroid use.
期刊介绍：
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
