Among therapy modalities of end-stage renal disease, renal transplantation improves survival in patients with amyloidosis.

Abstract:

:The aim of this study was to investigate the results of renal transplantation in amyloidosis patients compared with those on hemodialysis. We compared a group of 25 patients with systemic amyloidosis and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with renal transplantation with a control group of 30 patients with systemic amyloidosis and ESRD treated with hemodialysis. Overall 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 86.9%, 82.6%, and 78.2%, respectively, for patients, who had renal transplantations versus 60.7%, 50%, and 46.4%, respectively, for patients on hemodialysis treatments (P < .001). Among the control group 15 patients died at 9.4 +/- 7.5 months after starting hemodialysis. Among transplantation group five patients died during follow-up (mean 12.3 +/- 13.6 months); the major cause of death was infection. Only 18 patients experienced recurrences after renal transplantation; their 5-year survival rate was 84.2% versus 50% for patients who had no recurrence (P < .001). Patients with amyloid recurrence also had better long-term survival rates than patients in hemodialysis group (P < .001). In conclusion amyloidotic patients maintained on chronic dialysis have a high mortality rate. Better survival was noted for patients who had renal transplantations despite recurrences. These results encourage transplantation in amyloid renal end-stage disease.
