Unlabelled: Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Az antitest közvetítette kilökődés a graftvesztés gyakori oka a vesetranszplantáltak körében. Célkitűzés: Célul tűztük ki, hogy ismertetjük a centrumunkban biopsziával igazolt humorális kilökődéssel rendelkező betegeknek a kezelésre (standard kezelés: plazmaferézis, immunglobulin, rituximab) adott válaszát, valamint hogy vizsgáljuk a proteinuria grafttúlélésre kifejtett hatását és azt, hogy ezt a DSA-tól függetlenül teszi-e. Vizsgáltuk az eGFR-, a DSA-MFI-értéknek az antirejekciós terápia hatására bekövetkező változásait is. Módszer: 85 beteg retrospektív analízisét végeztük el. A szövettani elemzésben a Banff-klasszifikációt vettük alapul. A csoportok összehasonlításához kategorikus változók esetén a Fisher-féle egzakt próbát, folyamatos változók esetén a Kruskal-Wallis-próbát használtuk. Eredmények: A biopsziával igazolt humorális rejekciós csoportba (ABMR-csoport) 19, a DSA-pozitív csoportba 14, a DSA-negatív csoportba 52 beteget választottunk be. A DSA-érték az ABMR-csoportban 61,16%-kal csökkent, a DSA-pozitív csoportban 42,86%-kal redukálódott (Fisher-féle egzakt: p = 0,1). Az ABMR-csoportban 9 betegnek a jelentős, 4-nek a nephroticus mértékű proteinuriája csökkenthető volt (az ABMR-csoport 68%-a). A legjobb grafttúlélés a legalacsonyabb fehérjeürítésnél adódott. Az antirejekciós terápiát követően készült biopsziákban: a glomerulitis, az interstitialis gyulladás, az arteritis mértéke csökkent az antihumorális kezelés hatására, azonban krónikus elváltozások jelentek meg. Következtetés: Az ABMR-csoportban az antirejekciós terápiát követően a fehérjeürítés monitorizálása javasolt, hiszen becsülhető vele a grafttúlélés. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(26): 1029-1037.
Introduction: Antibody-mediated rejection is a common cause of graft loss among kidney transplant recipients.
Objective: We aimed to describe the response of patients with biopsy-proven humoral rejection to treatment (standard treatment: plasmapheresis, immunoglobulin, rituximab) in our center. We also analyzed the effect of proteinuria on graft survival and whether this effect is independent of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs). Changes of eGFR and level of DSA following rejection treatment were examined.
Method: In this study, laboratory data of 85 patients were analysed. Histological analysis was based on the Banff classification. Fisher's exact test was used for statistical analysis, and Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare patient groups per variable.
Results: Data from 85 patients were processed retrospectively. 19 patients were selected for the biopsy-confirmed humoral rejection group (ABMR group), 14 for the DSA-positive group, and 52 for the DSA-negative group. DSA titer decreased by 61.16% in the ABMR group after treatment and by 42.86% in the DSA-positive group (Fisher's exact test: p = 0.1). In the ABMR group, significant nephrotic proteinuria in 4 patients and severe proteinuria in 9 patients were reduced (68% of ABMR group). The patients with the lowest protein excretion had the best graft survival. In biopsies performed after antirejection therapy, the extent of glomerulitis, interstitial inflammation, arteritis decreased with antihumoral treatment, but chronic lesions appeared.
Conclusion: Following treatment of biopsy-proven ABMR, reduction of proteinuria predicts graft survival and should be monitored as an important factor-predicting prognosis. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(26): 1029-1037.

Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) has become one of the leading causes of chronic lung graft dysfunction. However, in lung transplantation, this entity is sometimes difficult and controversial to diagnose. It is mainly caused by the appearance of donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (DSA), although there are situations with C4d deposits in biopsy in the absence of circulating DSA.

(1) Background: donor-derived circulating free DNA (dd-cfDNA), an innovative biomarker with great potential for the early identification and prevention of graft damage. (2) Methods: Samples were collected prospectively and the study was performed retrospectively to analyze dd-cfDNA plasma levels in 30 kidney transplant patients during their post-transplant follow-up (15 days, 3, 6, and 9 months), to determine if the result could be of interest in the identification of possible adverse events, especially rejection. The aim was to verify whether the data on sensitivity, specificity, NPV, and PPV compare with reference values and creatinine values.

Background/objectives: Our previous retrospective single-center cohort study found, at 3-year follow-up, a trend toward low tacrolimus trough levels and an increased risk of de novo donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSAs) and of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in CYP3A5-expressing patients. Determining CYP3A5-expression status immediately after renal transplant would allow early genotype-based dosage adjustment of tacrolimus and might prevent the occurrence of de novo DSAs and ABMR, improving transplant outcome.
Methods: 160 renal allograft recipients who underwent renal transplant at the University Hospital Essen between May 2019 and May 2022 were genotyped for the rs776746 polymorphism within the first two weeks after transplant, and genotype-based dose adjustment of tacrolimus was performed for the follow-up of 2 years.
