背景慢性抗体介导的肾移植排斥反应(CAMR)最近被认为是一个明确的疾病分类实体。CAMR的结果很差;这种情况没有既定的治疗方案。因此,我们开始了一项试点研究,对CAMR的治疗与抗体液方案组成的高剂量静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIG)和嵌合抗CD 20抗体利妥昔单抗。6名儿童肾移植受者接受了每周4次的IVIG(每次1 g/kg体重),随后在最后一次IVIG输注后1周接受单次利妥昔单抗(375 mg/m2体表面积)。采用Banff'05分类评价移植肾活检。采用平板反应性淋巴细胞毒性试验和固相ELISA法检测人白细胞抗原特异性抗体。干预前6个月的中位肾小球滤过率下降了25(范围,11-26)mL/min/1.73 m2(P
Background. Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (CAMR) of renal allografts has recently been recognized as a defined nosologic entity. The outcome of CAMR is poor; there is no established treatment protocol for this condition. We therefore initiated a pilot study on treatment of CAMR with an antihumoral regimen consisting of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and the chimeric anti-CD20 antibody rituximab.Methods. Six pediatric renal transplant recipients with CAMR received four weekly doses of IVIG (1 g/kg body weight per dose), followed by a single dose of rituximab (375 mg/m(2) body surface area) I week after the last IVIG infusion. Renal allograft biopsies were evaluated using the Banff'05 classification. Human leukocyte antigen-specific antibodies were detected by panel-reactive lymphocytotoxicity and solid phase ELISA assays.Results. Median glomerular filtration rate during 6 months before intervention dropped by 25 (range, 11-26) mL/min/1.73 m(2) (P
