Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Recipients of living donor renal transplantation are typically considered to have a relatively lower immunological risk. This retrospective study aimed to compare the therapeutic efficacy and safety between rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) or interleukin-2 receptor antagonist (IL2-RA) induction therapies in Chinese population. METHODS:A total of 188 patients receiving living donor renal transplantation between February 2004 and December 2013 were included and divided into the rATG group and based on their induction therapy. The primary outcome was clinically-suspected rejection. The incidences of de novo donor-specific antigen (dn-DSA), graft survival, and infection were also compared between groups. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate the influential factors associated with clinically-suspected acute rejection and graft survival. RESULTS:The rATG group had a higher panel reactive antibody (PRA) score and more complete HLA mismatches than the IL2-RA group (both P < 0.001). The incidences of clinically-suspected acute rejection (9.8% vs. 8.8%; P = 0.832) and dn-DSA formation (4.9% vs. 5.4%, P = 0.44) were not significantly different between groups. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis demonstrated that the graft survivals of two groups were comparable (P = 0.857). After adjusting for patients' age, sex, PRA, HLA mismatch confounders, and the use of corticoids, the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that methods of induction therapy were not associated with clinically-suspected acute rejection and graft survival (both P > 0.05). The incidences of complications (infections, pneumonia, liver injury and myelosuppression) were all comparable between groups (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:These results suggested that rATG could be a safe and efficient immunosuppressant when used in a Chinese recipient population with a higher immunological risk in living donor renal transplantation.
