Background: In many centers, a protocol kidney biopsy (PKB) is performed at 3 months post-transplantation (M3), without a demonstrated benefit on death-censored graft survival (DCGS). In this study, we compared DCGS between kidney transplant recipients undergoing a PKB or without such biopsy while accounting for the obvious indication bias. Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study conducted between 2007 and 2013, we compared DCGS with respect to the availability and features of a PKB. We built a propensity score (PS) to account for PKB indication likelihood and adjusted the DCGS analysis on PKB availability and the PS. Results: A total of 615 patients were included: 333 had a PKB, 282 did not. In bivariate Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, adjusting for the availability of a PKB and for the PS, a PKB was associated with a better 5-year DCGS independently of the PS (p < 0.001). Among the PKB+ patients, 87 recipients (26%) had IF/TA > 0. Patients with an IF/TA score of 3 had the worst survival. A total of 144 patients (44%) showed cv lesions. Patients with cv2 and cv3 lesions had the worst 5-year DCGS. Conclusions: A M3 PKB was associated with improved graft survival independently of potential confounders. These results could be explained by the early treatment of subclinical immunological events. It could be due to better management of the immunosuppressive regimen.

There are scarce data about clinical presentation and outcomes of posttransplant membranous nephropathy (MN), and few reports include a large number of patients. This was a retrospective cohort including adult patients with posttransplant MN transplanted between 1983 and 2015 in a single center (n=41). Only patients with histological diagnosis of MN in kidney grafts were included. Clinical and laboratory presentation, histological findings, treatment, and outcomes were detailed. Patients were predominantly male (58.5%), with a mean age of 49.4 ± 13.2 years; 15 were considered as recurrent primary MN; 3 were class V lupus nephritis; 14 were considered as de novo cases, 7 secondary and 7 primary MN; and 9 cases were considered primary but it was not possible to distinguish between de novo MN and recurrence. Main clinical presentations were proteinuria (75.6%) and graft dysfunction (34.1%). Most patients with primary recurrent and de novo primary MN were submitted to changes in maintenance immunosuppressive regimen, but no standard strategy was identified; 31 patients presented partial or complete remission, and glomerulopathy appeared not to impact graft and patient survival.
