Zusammenfassung: | Background: Diabetes nephropathy is one of the most common causes of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. The data are clear that kidney transplantation is superior to remaining on dialysis for patients with diabetes. However, there have been no reports on ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation in patients with ESKD due to diabetes nephropathy. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study to investigate the clinical outcomes of ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation for patients with pre-existing diabetes nephropathy at our institution from April 2011 to October 2017. A total of 14 recipients were enrolled in this study. Results: All 14 patients underwent successful kidney transplantation. Both overall patient and graft survival rates were 100, 89.9, and 89.9% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. One patient died 20 months after transplantation with a functioning graft due to pancreas cancer. Two of the 14 patients (14.3%) developed biopsy-proven acute cellular rejection during the follow-up period. The median observation period was 32.0 months (range 5–83 months). Conclusion: ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation may be an acceptable renal replacement therapy for ESKD patients with diabetes. |
