The risk of recurrent IgA nephropathy in a steroid‐free protocol and other modifying immunosuppression

Abstract: Recurrent glomerulonephritis is an important cause of kidney allograft failure. The effect of immunosuppression on recurrent IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is unclear. We analyzed the impact of steroids and other immunosuppression on the risk of recurrent IgAN post-kidney transplantation. Between June 1989 and November 2008, 3311 kidney transplants were performed at our center. IgAN was the primary disease in 124 patients; of these, 75 (60.5%) patients received steroid-based immunosuppression (15 undergoing late stero… Show more

“…Similarly, Visger et al . observed a significantly higher risk of histologic IgAN recurrence with ESW regimens when compared to steroid continuation regimens (HR 8.59, 95% CI 3.03–24.38; P < 0.001).…”

“…Patient and graft survival was not affected in patients inducted on rATG and maintained on TAC and MMF [44,52]. In a study comprising 124 kidney transplant recipients, of whom 91% were on rATG induction Visger et al, also had the same results as shown by Kuklan [44,53]. Generally in patients where the initial cause of kidney disease is IgA nephropathy, steroid avoidance is not recommended.…”

“…The immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions of corticosteroids appear pertinent to the pathogenic mechanisms in IgAN. Based on data from 27 subjects with biopsy-proven IgAN affecting the transplanted kidney, steroid-free immunosuppression after kidney transplantation was associated with an eightfold increase in the risk of recurrent IgAN 6. Corticosteroids, alone or combined with cytotoxic agents, have been reported to confer renal benefit, although the evidence was not sufficiently robust due to issues related to sample size and/or follow-up duration 7.…”
