Organ Preservation Solutions in Transplantation: A Literature Review

Abstract

Renal transplant with ABO-incompatible donors expands the donor pool. Earlier studies have focused the use of protocol biopsies in ABOincompatible transplant patients. Our study described outcomes of indication (for cause) renal biopsies and clinical outcomes in patients with ABO-incompatible renal transplant.This retrospective study included 164 patients from January 2012 to June 2019. Biochemical parameters, serial immunoglobulin G anti-ABO titers, and class I and II donor-specific antibody findings were obtained from hospital records, and renal graft biopsies were reviewed according to the Banff 2017 update.We analyzed the results of 65 biopsies from 54 patients. Biopsy-proven acute antibody-mediated rejection (12.8%) was found to be more prevalent than acute cellular rejection (1.8%). Patients with antibodymediated rejection all had microvascular inflammation (g+ptc score of 2 or more, where g+ptc is the sum of the glomerulitis and peritubular capillaritis scores) and were positive for C4d. Acute tubular injury per se was seen in 10.3% of patients; 65% of these patients had C4d positivity in peritubular capillaries, and only 1 patient developed chronic active antibody-mediated rejection on follow-up. Patient and death-censored graft survival rates were 92% and 98% at 1 year after transplant and 88% and 91% at 3 years, respectively. Patients with an episode of antibody-mediated rejection had lower rates of patient (76.5%) and deathcensored graft survival (84.6%) at 1 year.The microvascular inflammation score (g+ptc score of 2 or higher) is more reliable than diffuse C4d positivity to determine antibody-mediated rejection in ABO-incompatible transplants because diffuse C4d positivity may also be seen in etiologies unrelated to antibody-mediated rejection. Acute tubular injury with C4d positivity without microvascular injury does not confirm antibody-mediated rejection. We suggest that Banff classification be updated in ABOincompatible transplants to include diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection.
