Abstract
Aim: To analyze the results of the non-selective immunoadsorption technique in a hospital hemodialysis unit.
Material and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of the first 18 patients treated in our center with non-selective immunoadsorption (years 2012-2017) in the indications for ABOi transplant conditioning and treatment of humoral rejection.
Results: During a period of 5 years, 128 non-selective immunoadsorption sessions were analyzed. 38.9% (n = 7) of cases for desensitization prior to renal transplantation with incompatibility of blood group and 61.1% (n = 11) remaining for the treatment of antibody-mediated rejection.
In the first case, an average of 8 ± 0.6 sessions of immunoadsorption prior to kidney transplantation were performed and 57.1% were complemented by 2 subsequent sessions. The concomitant treatment was protocolled with Rituximab and immunoglobulins, 57.1% requiring plasma exchanges. In the second case, an average of 5.9 ± 2 immunoadsorption sessions were carried out. The concomitant treatment was the same and 27.3% performed plasma exchanges.
Conclusions: Kidney transplantation from ABOI living donor after desensitization was possible in 100% of patients. 72.7% of patients treated for antibody-mediated rejection currently maintain graft functionality.
