Growing need of kidney allograft!
• The prevalence of CKD is 17.2% with ~1.6% have CKD
stage 4-5 in India.
• Incidence of ESRD is 2.5 lakh /year
• Only 10,000 patients started on dialysis

PROTOCOLS
Challenges :
• Lack of proper policy in organ sharing in different countries
• Organ retrieval and Transportation issues
• Long waiting period
• Inferior patient and graft survival as compared to live Tx
• Higher risk of delayed graft function

Kidney Paired Donation (KPD)

Kidney Paired Donation (KPD)cont..
Challenges :
Age matched kidney and HLA matching ----Difficult same
setting
Lo………..ng waiting period to obtain matching donor –
months to years unless large pool
O and AB patients – very difficult for swapping
Expenses while waiting for transplant :
maintenance dialysis - Rs. 25000 to 30000/month
Vascular issues /inferior outcomes ass.
Option for limited population due to
Demographic issue/logistic issues and limited number of pairs

Strategies of ABOi-KT
Three common principles
(1) Antibody measurement –tube method, gel card method,
flow cytometry
(2) Antibody depletion.
Therapeutic plasma exchange,
Double-filtration plasmapheresis,
Antigen-specific immunoadsorption.
(3) B-Cell depletion
Intravenous Immunoglobulin.
Splenectomy.
Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody.

Isoagglutinins
• IgM isotype –natural , intrinsic ability to agglutinate erythrocytes
reacting against non-self ABO antigens
Titer Monitoring
• Baseline,
• Pre & post plasmapheresis
• Post Tx -Daily for first 2 weeks
Weekly for next one month
At 2, 3, 6, 12 months

•Efficient
•No volume loss
•No coagulation disturbance
Using the process of immunoadsorption, the plasma is processed through a Glycosorb ABO
immunoadsorbent column and reinfused into the patient. There are no volume losses, and
thus the number of adsorption cycles has no limit.
