C4d-positive acute humoral renal allograft rejection: rescue therapy by immunoadsorption in combination with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:We investigated the efficacy of immunoadsorption (IA) in combination with tacrolimus (FK506) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) rescue therapy for C4d-positive acute humoral rejection (AHR) of renal transplants. METHODS:Six of 185 cadaveric renal allograft recipients developed AHR at a mean of 4.8 +/- 0.8 days after the operation. C4d deposits were observed in peritubular capillaries (PTC) with accumulation of granulocytes. IA with staphylococcal protein A and FK506-MMF combination therapy were administered. RESULTS:After treatment with IA for 6.3 +/- 1.03 sessions combined with FK506 (0.14 to 0.16 mg.kg(-1).d(-1)) and MMF (1.5 g/d) therapy, renal function recovered in all the patients. The mean duration of treatment to a serum creatinine decrease was 14 +/- 2.9 days. The pre-IA panel reactive antibody reactivity (PRA) peaked at 50.2% +/- 6.1%, and was significantly reduced to 8.3% +/- 2.9% after IA. In four of six patients repeat allograft biopsy revealed a remission of AHR. With a mean follow-up of 18.8 +/- 5.46 months, patient and allograft survival are 100% and renal function remains stable with a mean serum creatinine of 1.2 +/- 0.22 mg/dL. CONCLUSION:The optimal treatment for alloantibody-mediated AHR remains uncertain. Our findings suggest that a therapeutic approach combining IA and FK506-MMF rescue improves the outcome of AHR.
