25 Acute Cellular Rejection

26 Acute Cellular Rejection - Tubulitis

27 A 4-year-old girl develops a cough, dyspnoea and a fever 7 days following renal transplantation. She was seropositive for CMV prior to transplant. CXR shows sign of consolidation at the right lung base. She is receiving cyclosporin-a and prednisolone to prevent graft rejection. The transplanted kidney shows no signs of rejection. Which one of the following is most likely to be the cause of the pneumonia? A. Cytomegalovirus B. Gram negative bacteria C. Streptococcus pneumoniae D. Aspergillus fumigatus E. Pneumocystis carinii

28 6-yo boy, day 8 post living related renal transplant is febrile and tender over the graft site, MSU shows increased white cells, no organisms are seen. Cyclosporin levels from day 6 were at desirable targets. CMV status: CMV +ve kidney, CMV-ve patient. DTPA scans shown from day 3 good uptake (normal) day 8 no uptake in renal graft The explanation for these findings is: A. Vascular thrombosis B. Ureteric obstruction C. CMV infection D. Acute rejection E. Cyclosporin-A toxicity

29 IMMUNOSUPPRESSION The optimal maintenance immunosuppressive therapy in solid organ transplantation is not established There are still no absolute criteria that enable the clinician to predict who will do well with a low level of immunosuppression

30 IMMUNOSUPPRESSION Until recently, there had been very few well controlled trials comparing different regimens.

43 MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL Decreased incidence of acute rejection compare to azathioprine/placebo Steroid-free and steroid sparing protocols Rescue therapy Chronic rejection

44 The Long Term Use of Mycophenolate Mofetil in Pediatric Renal Transplantation Robert Ettenger et al Mattel Children s Hospital at UCLA 1. In pediatric renal transplantation, MMF in combination with CsA and Prednisone provide effective long-term immunosuppression. 2. Patient and graft survival are excellent. 3. The relatively low rate of rejection episodes is maintained through 3 years posttransplant. 4. The use of MMF appears to be generally well tolerated through 3 years posttransplant.

48 Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus Should the use of Calcineurin inhibitors be uniform or individualised?

49 Comparing cyclosporine to tacrolimus which of the following statements are true about cyclosporine A. Only patients on cyclosporin develop nephrotoxicity B. C 0 compared to C 2 monitoring is preferred C. Diabetes is more common D. Gingival enlargement and hirsutism are features E. Hyperlipidaemia is less common

50 Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus Criticisms of Phase III trials Tacrolimus compared to Cyclosporine (Sandimmune) not Neoral Open label bias Adjustment to trough levels and not C2 for Cyclosporine
