Sensitization in renal transplantation.

Y C Zhou, J M Cecka

    Clinical Transplants
    |January 1, 1991
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Broadly sensitized patients have lower graft survival rates in kidney transplants, but HLA matching can mitigate this. Pretransplant blood transfusions showed limited benefits, and specific antibody detection methods impact sensitization assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology and Immunology
    • Transplant Medicine
    • Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics

    Background:

    • Patient sensitization, primarily due to previous transplants, transfusions, pregnancies, and sex, significantly impacts kidney transplant outcomes.
    • The prevalence of broadly sensitized recipients has decreased, while non-transfused recipients have increased, altering the transplant landscape.
    • Delayed graft function (DGF) is more common in sensitized patients, affecting both first-time and retransplant recipients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of patient sensitization on graft survival rates in cadaver-donor kidney transplants.
    • To assess the role of pretransplant blood transfusions and HLA matching in overcoming sensitization.
    • To compare the sensitivity of different methods for detecting preformed antibodies and their effect on sensitization classification.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of graft survival rates in 2,615 broadly sensitized vs. non-sensitized and moderately sensitized patients undergoing first cadaver-donor transplants (1985-1990).
    • Retrospective evaluation of retransplant outcomes based on sensitization levels and transfusion history.
    • Comparison of DGF incidence across different sensitization categories and transplant types.
    • Assessment of HLA-A,B, and DR matching effects on graft survival in sensitized recipients.
    • Evaluation of antibody detection methods (AHG, NIH, 1-Wash) for classifying sensitization.

    Main Results:

    • Broadly sensitized patients had significantly lower 1-year graft survival rates (72% for first transplants, 61% for retransplants) compared to non-sensitized and moderately sensitized groups.
    • Pretransplant transfusions offered a modest survival benefit (4%) in first transplants for males and non-sensitized females, but not for previously sensitized patients.
    • HLA-A,B, and DR matching improved survival in sensitized recipients, making their outcomes comparable to mismatched non-sensitized recipients.
    • The Antihuman Globulin (AHG) method detected higher rates of sensitization (31% first, 58% retransplant) compared to NIH or 1-Wash methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient sensitization remains a significant barrier to successful kidney transplantation, leading to reduced graft survival.
    • HLA matching is crucial for improving outcomes in sensitized recipients, particularly for cadaver-donor transplants.
    • The choice of antibody detection method influences the classification of sensitization, highlighting the need for standardized protocols.
