Background: 'Life Years from Transplant' (LYFT) is a measure of the predicted difference between the expected lifespan with and without a kidney transplant. The metric was originally proposed in 1999; since then, demographics of the kidney transplant candidate population have materially changed.
Methods: Using contemporary SRTR data, we propose more sophisticated methods for estimating LYFT with a focus on older kidney transplant candidates, a growing sector of the current candidate pool.

Long-term, immunosuppression-free allograft survival has been induced in human and nonhuman primate (NHP) kidney recipients after nonmyeloablative conditioning and donor bone marrow transplantation (DBMT), resulting in transient mixed hematopoietic chimerism. However, the same strategy has consistently failed in NHP heart transplant recipients. Here, we investigated whether long-term heart allograft survival could be achieved by cotransplanting kidneys from the same donor.

Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits (PGNMID) is a glomerular disease characterized by membranoproliferative and mesangioproliferative lesions, with granular capillary wall monoclonal IgG positivity and immunoglobulin light chain restriction. Most commonly a disease of older adults, we present the case of an 18-year-old patient who developed de novo PGNMID in a kidney allograft three years after kidney transplantation. There was minimal proteinuria and no serum paraproteinemia was detected, so the patient was managed conservatively.

Background: C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare kidney disease due to a dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway, orphan of specific treatment. Pegcetacoplan is an inhibitor of the third complement component C3, currently on a phase III registration protocol in C3G. Here we describe our experience with the off-label use of pegcetacoplan in pediatric patients with C3G.
