Kidney Transplant
Conditions
Brief summary
The study is tissue-based, retrospective and prospective, single-centre, non-sponsored. Primary objective: To examine patient and organ survival and eGFR variation in kidney transplant patients diagnosed histologically with cAMR.
Detailed description
At the kidney transplant follow-up clinic of the UO Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation Unit of the IRCCS AOUBO Policlinico di Sant'Orsola, directed by Prof. G. La Manna, all patients with a diagnosis of cAMR made since 01/01/2018 and patients with a new diagnosis of cAMR made after the approval of this protocol by the Ethics Committee will be enrolled. The study will last 5 years and 6 months.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age ≥18 years * Kidney transplant recipients * eGFR\>15 ml/min/1.73 sq m at the time of diagnosis of cAMR * cAMR diagnosis defined on the basis of the 2018 Banff Classification (17), made after 1/1/2018. * Obtaining Informed Consent to Participation.
Exclusion criteria
* Combined transplant patients (heart-kidney, liver-kidney or kidney-pancreas) * Histological evidence of concomitant disease (e.g. recurrence of original nephropathy or diagnosis of 'de novo' nephropathy, acute cellular rejection, polyomavirus BK nephropathy, other)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Kidney survival post tranplant | 1 year, 2 years | Patient and organ survival status |
| Change in eGFR | 1 year, 2 years | The change in eGFR will be assessed by the linear slope of eGFR (least square method) in patients who have at least 3 serum creatinine assessments. In addition to the mean annual change in eGFR from the baseline visit, it will be assessed how many patients achieved a reduction in eGFR of 40% and 50% (percentage change) between the baseline visit and the 1- and 2-year follow-up visits. |
