Microvascular Inflammation: A Silent Threat in Kidney Transplantation ?
31 octobre 2024
Microvascular inflammation is
emerging as a significant challenge in kidney transplantation. This condition
significantly affects graft survival and requires a tailored approach to
patient care. Commonly linked to alloimmune responses, this condition can occur
without donor-specific antibodies, complicating both diagnosis and treatment. Given
the implications for patients with end-stage renal disease, understanding the
various phenotypes of microvascular inflammation and their impact on kidney
transplants is essential.
This study analyzed over 16,000 kidney transplant biopsies from 6,798 transplant recipients between 2004 and 2023, involving more than 30 transplant centers worldwide. The biopsies were classified into two newly defined categories:
