摘要
BACKGROUND Morbidity and mortality rates are high for patients returning to dialysis after renal graft failure. Keeping failed kidney transplants in situ with concomitant minimization or withdrawal of immunosuppression is standard of care in many transplant centers. It is unclear, however, whether the resulting allospecific immune response can cause a microinflammatory milieu. The present work investigated the impact of allograft nephrectomy on systemic inflammation, erythropoiesis, and donor-specific antibodies (DSA). MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis evaluating C-reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), ferritin, iron substitution dosages, erythropoietin dosages, and DSA in 92 transplant recipients with allograft failure, of whom 49 did not (Group A) and 43 did undergo transplant nephrectomy (Group B). Blood samples and clinical data were obtained 3-6 months after returning to dialysis. We additionally assessed outcome of kidney re-transplantation in a 10-year follow-up. RESULTS There was no significant difference in Hb concentrations, ferritin concentrations, CRP concentrations, iron, and EPO substitution dosages between the 2 groups. Patients undergoing nephrectomy had a significantly higher prevalence of DSA (65.1% vs 38.8%, P<0.0001). In the 10-year follow-up, 3 patients (12%) of Group B and none in Group A had allograft failure after primary successful re-transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Keeping a kidney graft in situ after returning to dialysis did not lead to an increase in microinflammation. Although DSA develops in more than 50% of patients after an allograft nephrectomy, the outcome of a renal re-transplantation seems to be unaffected. Thus, both strategies are feasible options in kidney transplant recipients after return to dialysis.
