AbstractWe investigated the clinical relevance of urinary cytokines/chemokines reflecting intrarenal immunologic micromilieu as prognostic markers and the optimal measurement timing after living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). This prospective cohort study included 77 LDKT patients who were followed for ≥ 5 years. Patients were divided into control (n = 42) or acute rejection (AR, n = 35) group. Early AR was defined as AR occurring within 3 months. Serum and urine cytokines/chemokines were measured serially as follows: intraoperative, 8/24/72 h, 1 week, 3 months, and 1 year after LDKT. Intrarenal total leukocytes, T cells, and B cells were analyzed with immunohistochemistry followed by tissueFAXS. Urinary MCP-1 and fractalkine were also analyzed in a validation cohort. Urinary MCP-1 after one week was higher in the AR group. Urinary MCP-1, fractalkine, TNF-α, RANTES, and IL-6 after one week were significantly higher in the early AR group. Intrarenal total leukocytes and T cells were elevated in the AR group compared with the control group. Urinary fractalkine, MCP-1, and IL-10 showed positive correlation with intrarenal leukocyte infiltration. Post-KT 1 week urinary MCP-1 showed predictive value in the validation cohort. One-week post-KT urinary MCP-1 may be used as a noninvasive diagnostic marker for predicting AR after LDKT.

The objective of this study was to compare outcomes between basiliximab and low-dose r-ATG in living donor kidney transplantation recipients with low immunological risk. Patients in the low-dose r-ATG group received 1.5 mg/kg of r-ATG for 3 days (total 4.5 mg/kg). Graft survival, patient survival, acute rejection, de novo donor specific antibody (DSA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) changes, and infection status were compared. Among 268 patients, 37 received r-ATG, and 231 received basiliximab. There was no noticeable difference in the graft failure rate (r-ATG vs. basiliximab: 2.7% vs. 4.8%) or rejection (51.4% vs. 45.9%). de novo DSA was more frequent in the r-ATG group (11.4% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.017). e-GFR changes did not differ noticeably between groups. Although most infections showed no noticeable differences between groups, more patients in the r-ATG group had cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia and serum polyomavirus (BK virus) (73.0% vs. 51.9%, p = 0.032 in CMV; 37.8% vs. 15.6%, p = 0.002 in BK), which did not aggravate graft failure. Living donor kidney transplantation patients who received low-dose r-ATG and patients who received basiliximab showed comparable outcomes in terms of graft survival, function, and overall infections. Although CMV antigenemia, BK viremia were more frequent in the r-ATG group, those factors didn’t change the graft outcomes.
