We report a case of very early postoperative iatrogenic dissection of common iliac artery (CIA), external iliac artery (EIA) causing acute ischemia of the right lower limb, and impairing the perfusion of a renal allograft. This was managed successfully by graft nephrectomy and interposition polytetrafluoroethylene grafting of the CIA and EIA with re-implantation of the kidney allograft and restoration of its perfusion and function, together with restoration of the lower limb circulation.

Perceptions of Palliative Care Among Patients With Kidney Allograft Dysfunction: A Qualitative Study.

Rationale & Objective: Nearly half of kidney transplant recipients develop allograft failure within 10 years of transplantation and experience high mortality, significant symptom burden, and complex communication challenges. These patients may benefit from palliative care, but palliative care is infrequently provided in this population. This study explores palliative care perceptions and needs among patients with poorly functioning and declining kidney allografts.

Efficacy and Safety of Pegcetacoplan in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Recurrent Complement 3 Glomerulopathy or Primary Immune Complex Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis.

Introduction: Complement 3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) have high risks for disease recurrence and allograft loss in transplant kidneys. Pegcetacoplan (targeted complement 3 [C3]/C3b inhibitor) may prevent excessive deposition of C3 and complement 5 [C5] breakdown products and associated renal damage.
Methods: NOBLE (NCT04572854) is a prospective, phase 2, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of pegcetacoplan in posttransplant patients with recurrent C3G or IC-MPGN.
Introduction: Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) represent distinct pathological and clinical entities with known chronicity and recurrence. Kidney biopsy is the gold standard to diagnose TMA in patients with renal manifestations but the prognostic significance of acute or chronic phase of the disease has not been well studied. We examined the clinical characteristics, management, and predictors of acute vs.

Solid organ transplantation has emerged as a crucial intervention in the field of medicine. During transplantation, our human body perceives the organ as an exogenous entity or graft, initiating an immune reaction to eliminate it. This immune response ultimately culminates in the rejection of the graft.
