Clinical Outcomes of ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation in Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease due to Diabetes Nephropathy

Abstract: Background: Diabetes nephropathy is one of the most common causes of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. The data are clear that kidney transplantation is superior to remaining on dialysis for patients with diabetes. However, there have been no reports on ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation in patients with ESKD due to diabetes nephropathy. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study to investigate the clinical outcomes of ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation for patie… Show more

“…13 Although gender specificity is seen in most renal transplant cases, the exact underlying genetic cause leading up to it is still unknown. Along with gender, the mean age of patients with rejection issues are usually between 20-40 years, 14 which was in line with the results obtained in our study (mean age: 36.79 ± 10.65 years).…”

“…In Japan, ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation has become a popular alternative to deceased kidney transplantation due to the shortage of deceased donors [1, 2]. Splenectomy had been performed to reduce the B cell pool in ABO-incompatible kidney transplant recipients but is now being replaced by the administration of rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody [3-5]. During the early era of ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation in Japan, splenectomy had been performed in ABO-incompatible kidney transplant recipients because Japanese insurance had not covered administration of rituximab for kidney transplantation.…”
