A comparative study on outcomes of ABO-incompatible kidney transplants between robot-assisted vs. open surgery-propensity score-matched analysis: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC Nephrol

November 2024

Division of Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation, Department of Surgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 05505, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) is gaining popularity, but there's limited research on its effectiveness for immunologically high-risk patients, particularly those with ABO incompatibility (ABOi), compared to traditional open kidney transplantation (OKT).
  • A study involving 239 living-donor transplants compared 210 ABOi-OKT cases with 29 ABOi-RAKT cases, using statistical methods to ensure valid comparisons and analyze outcomes like acute rejection and graft failure.
  • Results showed similar one- and two-year survival rates and kidney function between RAKT and OKT, but RAKT had longer surgery times and cold ischemic periods, while hospital stays were shorter for RAKT, indicating it is a safe and effective

4-Color Flow Cytometric Crossmatch Using Whole Blood Lysis.

Transplant Proc

August 2024

Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, Republic of Korea.

Background: In lymphocyte crossmatch using flow cytometry (flow cytometric crossmatch, FCXM), the conventional tricolor FCXM protocol requires a mononuclear cell isolation step. To develop a new, more streamlined protocol, we introduced whole blood lysis (WBL) and CD45 fluorescence-triggered acquisition using 4-color flow cytometry.

Methods: A total of 186 donor/recipient pairs for transplantation were classified into donor-specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alloantibody-positive (DSA+, n = 78) and DSA-negative (DSA-, n = 108) groups.

Transplantation across the ABO blood group (ABOI-Tx) has facilitated to increase in donor pool for living donor kidney transplantation. Increased risk of rejection despite augmented immunosuppression has been the concern for many transplant programs in initiating an ABOI-TX program. The benefits of induction immunosuppression on long-term graft survival in immunologically low-risk individuals are still not clear.

Background And Objectives: ABO isoagglutinin titre is important for evaluating and monitoring ABO-incompatible (ABOi) stem cells or solid organ transplantations. There are several methods to measure the titre level, including the tube haemagglutination method, micro-column agglutination and erythrocyte-magnetized technology (EMT). However, few studies have reported isoagglutinin measured by EMT.

Backgrounds/aims: Graft survival after ABO-incompatible (ABOi) living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has increased due to advances in desensitization methods. We analyzed early outcomes following ABOi LDLT using only rituximab without any additional desensitization methods in recipients with low anti-ABO antibody titers (≤1:32).

Methods: Ten adult patients underwent ABOi LDLT between September 2014 and December 2016.
