Progress in Desensitization of the Highly HLA Sensitized Patient.

Abstract:

:The presence of HLA antibodies remains a significant and often impenetrable barrier to kidney transplantation, leading to increased morbidity and mortality for patients remaining on long-term dialysis. In recent years, a number of new approaches have been developed to overcome these barriers. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) remains the lynchpin of HLA desensitization therapy and has been shown in a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to improve transplantation rates. In addition, IVIG used in low doses with plasma exchange is a reliable protocol for desensitization. Another significant advancement was the addition of rituximab (anti-B-cell therapy) to IVIG and plasma exchange-based desensitization. This approach has significantly improved rates of transplantation and outcomes. There is limited experience with bortezomib (anti-plasma cell therapy) and eculizumab (complement inhibition) for desensitization. However, recent data from a completed trial of eculizumab failed to show a significant benefit for prevention of antibody-mediated rejection compared with standard therapy plus placebo, and bortezomib produced inconsistent results. There is a growing interest in developing new therapeutic agents for desensitization. Newer approaches that address antibody reduction with B-cell depletion are discussed.

  • Living donor renal transplantation using grafts with multiple arteries procured by laparoscopic nephrectomy.

    abstract:OBJECTIVE:Kidney grafts with multiple renal arteries (MRAs) are not uncommon, but they do make transplantation more difficult. Laparoscopic graft nephrectomy has become the standard; however, the safety and reliability must be maintained for both a donor and a recipient even in case of MRAs. This study evaluated the sh...
