Kidney transplantation during the COVIDâ19 pandemic: Potential longâterm consequences of an early postâtransplant infection
International audienceRecently, Akalin et al.1 reported a 28% mortality among kidneyâtransplant patients infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARSâCoVâ2). Two of the 10 patients who died had been transplanted within the previous 5 weeks. During the coronavirus disease (COVID)â19 outbreak, kidney transplant programs were suspended in several countries2. Although the pandemic is still ongoing, the stop of lockdown has prompted several transplant centers to restart kidney transplantation programs. It is recommended to consider that donors and recipients are screened for SARSâCoVâ2 before transplantation by means of nuclear acid tests with or without chest CT scans

Treatment of large plasma volumes using specific immunoadsorption to desensitize ABO-incompatible kidney-transplant candidates
Background: ABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney-transplantation has very good long-term results, i.e. similar to those observed for living-kidney ABO-compatible transplantation. This is because patients are desensitized at pretransplant using apheresis and rituximab therapy, with tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. Objectives: To assess the efficacy of a single, pretransplant (Day â1), specific immunoadsorption session using GlycosorbÂź columns (anti-A or anti-B; Glycorex Sweden) to treat large volumes of plasma (up to 18 L). Patients and Methods: Prospective single-center study evaluating 12 consecutive patients (6 males), aged 40 (23â59) years. Incompatibilities were A into 0 (8), B into 0 (3), and AB into 0 (1). Pretransplant desensitization relied on rituximab (Dâ30), tacrolimus, mycophenolic acid, and steroids (all started on Dâ13), and a single session of specific immunoadsorption on Dâ1. Immunoadsorption was coupled in tandem with a hemodialysis session. Results: Overall, 15 L (11â18) of plasma were treated per patient, i.e., 0.2 (0.11â0.36 L/kg). Isoagglutinin titers were 1/16 (1/5â1/64) before the procedure, decreasing after 6 hours to 1/5 (1/1â1/16 P = 0.008), and to 1/2 (1/1â1/8; P = 0.05) at completion of the session. The next day, i.e., the day of transplantation, there was no rebound of isoagglutinins [1/4 (1/1â1/5); P = ns]. The procedure was well tolerated with no side-effects and no significant changes in hemoglobin level, platelet counts, fibrinogen, or albumin levels. Conclusions: For ABOi kidney-transplantation, a single, longer, specific immunoadsorption session was very efficient at 1-day pre-transplantation with no rebound. These results should be confirmed when isoagglutinin titers are higher (â„120)
Do antiâILâ6R blockers have a beneficial effect in the treatment of antibodyâmediated rejection resistant to standard therapy after kidney transplantation?
International audienceAntibodyâmediated rejection (AMR) that resists to standard of care (SOC) therapy remains a major challenge after kidney transplantation and leads to graft failure in a majority of cases. The use of antiâIL6 receptor antibodies was suggested to treat chronic antibodyâmediated rejection (cAMR) after failure of classical treatments. We treated nine patients with AMR resistant to apheresis, rituximab, and intravenous immunoglobulins, with a monthly infusion of tocilizumab and compared them with a historical cohort of 37 patients with similar clinical, immunological, and histological characteristics. The 1âyear graft survival and the decline in renal function did not differ between patients who received tocilizumab and those who did not. Histological followâup showed that despite a decrease in inflammation and tubulitis scores after tocilizumab, the course of antibodyâmediated lesions and chronic glomerulopathy were similar in both groups. In our study, the addition of monthly infusions of tocilizumab did not alter the course of AMR that resist to SOC therapy. Large randomized studies are urgently needed to assess the effect of tocilizumab in this context
DataSheet_1_Progression of histological lesions after ABO incompatible kidney transplantation.docx
Recent large meta-analyses suggested a poorer long-term patientsâ and graftsâ outcomes after ABO incompatible (ABOi) living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) compared to ABO compatible LDKT. However, little is known about the long-term histological pattern after ABOi LDKT. We compared the histological features observed on protocol biopsies from 03/11 to 11/19 in 94 ABOi LDKT (including 14 with preformed Donor Specific Antibodies, pDSAs), 27 LDKT ABO compatible (ABOc) with pDSAs, and 21 ABOc without pDSAs) during the first five years post transplantation. During the first 5 years post-transplantation, a progression of chronic lesions (patients with a ci >0 raised from 11% to 65%, p0 raised from 29% to 78%, pHence, long-term histological analysis of ABOi LDKT shows only an increase of chronic interstitial and tubular atrophy changes, without active lesions. These data confirm that ABOi LDKT programs can be securely developed.</p
