We have been performing ABO-incompatible LKT at Jichi Medical University Hospital since April. This study was designed to summarize our experience with ABOincompatible LKT. We performed cases of LKT between April and December. Of these, patients group ABO-IC;. % received kidneys from ABO-incompatible donors and patients group ABO-C;. % received kidneys from ABO-compatible donors. During the induction phase of ABO-IC, tacrolimus Tac, mycophenolate mofetil MMF, and methylprednisolone MP were used for a -day period of pretransplantation immunosuppression. Basiliximab BXM was administered on the day of surgery and postoperative day. In all ABO-IC patients, plasmapheresis was performed to remove anti- AB antibodies prior to LKT, and splenectomy was performed at the time of or before LKT. In ABO-IC, patient with functioning graft died due to malignant lymphoma diffuse B-cell lymphoma, EBV-non related. In ABO-C, patient with functioning graft died due to traumatic subdural hematoma and hemodialysis was re-initiated in patient following allograft failure. Patient and graft survival rates at the end of March were % and. % for ABO-IC and % and. % for ABO-C, respectively. Incidence of acute rejection was. % in ABO-IC and. % in ABO-C. No patients experienced any serious complications. Our results demonstrate that LKT from an ABO-incompatible donor using a -day period of pretransplantation immunosuppression with Tac, MMF and MP is equivalent to LKT from an ABOcompatible donor. According to the Japanese Renal Transplant Registry, transplantations were performed using living donors in Japan in. Among these, kidneys. % were donated from ABO-incompatible donors. In response to the shortage of deceased donors, ABO-incompatible LKT will spread in Japan. Surgical Branch, Institute of Kidney Diseases, Jichi Medical University Hospital
