Kidney Transplant in a Patient With Factor VII Deficiency: Case Report.

Organ transplant in patients with congenital bleeding disorders is a challenge requiring an integrated approach of various specialists. Inherited factor VII deficiency is the most common of the rare bleeding disorders, with a wide set of hemorrhagic features. Although a kidney allograft is the most frequent type of solid-organ transplant, it is rarely performed in individuals with congenital hemorrhagic disorders.

Management of Chronic Active Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Renal Transplant Recipients: Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: Data on the management of chronic antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplantation are limited. We aimed to assess the impact of treatment of biopsy-proven chronic active antibodymediated rejection with combined plasma exchange, intravenous immunoglobulin, and rituximab treatment versus intravenous immunoglobulin alone or conservative management on the evolution of renal function in renal transplant recipients.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, we compared patients diagnosed with chronic active antibody-mediated rejection who were treated with standard of care steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, plasma exchange, and rituximab (n = 40) at our center versus those who received intravenous immunoglobulin only or just intensified maintenance immunosuppression (n = 28).
