Acute Rejection in the Modern Lung Transplant Era

Abstract: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) remains a common complication after lung transplantation. Mortality directly related to ACR is low and most patients respond to first-line immunosuppressive treatment. However, a subset of patients may develop refractory or recurrent ACR leading to an accelerated lung function decline and ultimately chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Infectious complications associated with the intensification of immunosuppression can also negatively impact long-term survival. In this review, we… Show more

“…To ensure equal time risk, this was assessed for the subset of patients who were followed for at least 1‐year post‐LT. Treated lung rejection during the LT admission or first year of LT (within the subset of subjects followed at least 1‐year post‐ LT to ensure equal time risk). This is a potentially mechanistic outcome as acute rejection is a leading risk factor for chronic rejection which in turn is a leading cause of LT mortality 18 . Identifying risk factors for acute rejection opens opportunities for earlier detection and intervention which could slow the progression toward worse outcomes. Posttransplant graft survival, defined as the time from LT until death or retransplant.…”

“…CLAD is the most common cause of death within I year after LT [ 54 ]. External exposure and infection increase the risk of rejection after LT [ 55 ]. Acute rejection can be mediated by either acute cellular rejection (ACR) involving T cells or antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) involving B cells.…”

“…Primary lung transplantation (LTx) offers definitive treatment for patients who have advanced pulmonary disease, with longer survival for patients with many causes of end-stage, life-threatening lung disease and improved quality of life in carefully selected candidates ( 1 , 2 ). However, early graft failure due to primary graft dysfunction ( 3 ) or acute cellular rejection ( 4 ) and late graft failure due to chronic lung allograft dysfunction ( 5 ) both lead to significant morbidity and mortality after LTx. While medical interventions for both early and late lung allograft failure may have limited efficacy, lung re-transplantation is one potential therapy that could definitively treat end-stage lung allograft failure for the appropriate candidates.…”
