The number of patients on renal transplant waiting list is increasing rapidly in many countries, exacerbating the shortage of organs. We conducted a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of deceased‐donor kidney transplantation from hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)‐positive (+) donors into hepatitis B surface antibody (anti‐HBs)‐positive (+) recipients. Sixty‐five patients received grafts from HBsAg(+) donors, and 308 subjects received grafts from HBsAg‐negative(−) donors. Posttransplantation, recipients with HBsAg(−) grafts or HBsAg(+) grafts received 400 U of hepatitis B immunoglobulin once and twice, respectively. The seven recipients who received grafts from hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA(+) donors were treated with hepatitis B immunoglobulin 400 U weekly for 3 months and lamivudine 100 mg daily for 6 months. All patients were monitored for liver function and hepatitis B viral status. The follow‐up period was 38.7 ± 15.4 months. Although two recipients developed de novo HBV infection, neither patient developed severe liver dysfunction nor died. The incidence of liver injury (39/65 vs. 207/308, chi‐square test, p > 0.05) and survival (log‐rank test, p > 0.05) did not differ between the groups. We conclude that anti‐HBs(+) recipients receiving HBsAg(+) grafts did as well as those receiving HBsAg(−) grafts.

Treatment of lupus nephritis (LN) with cyclophosphamide (CYC) is effective but retains a certain severe adverse effect. Tacrolimus (TAC) may be a suitable treatment for LN. Forty patients with diffuse proliferative or membranous LN were recruited for this non-randomized open-label study — 67.5% (27/40) had nephrotic proteinuria (>3.5 g/day) and 50.0% (20/40) had low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (<60 mL/min/1.73m2). We compared the efficacy and adverse effects of TAC (0.04–0.08 mg/kg/d)/prednisone for 12 months (TAC group, n = 20) with intravenous CYC (750 mg/m2 per month)/prednisone for six months followed by azathioprine (Aza) (100 mg/day)/prednisone for six months (CYC group, n = 20). The TAC target concentration was 6–8 ng/mL or 4–6 ng/mL, respectively, when induction or maintenance therapy was required and 4.0 ng/mL for patient with renal insufficiency. In the TAC group, mean urinary protein excretion decreased significantly from 5.00 ± 1.91 g/day at baseline to 2.54 ± 1.68 g/day after two weeks of therapy (P < 0.001), compared with the CYC group (4.9 ± 19.4 g/day), P = 0.001, and 65.0% (13/20) achieved partial remission at one month, compared with the CYC group (0/20), P < 0.001. The incidence of complete remission (CR) was significantly higher in the TAC group than in the CYC group (55.0% vs.15.0% by five months, P = 0.008, and 75.0% vs.40.0% by 12 months, P = 0.025, respectively). The significant improvement in serum anti-dsDNA and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity index (DAI) was in the TAC group relative to the CYC group at 12 months (P = 0.031, P = 0.003, respectively). The eGFR improved in the TAC group from 59.90 ± 23.64 mL/min/1.73m2 at baseline to 93.75 ± 28.52 mL/min/1.73m2 after 12 months, P = 0.001. In the CYC group, two patients developed end-stage renal disease (ESRD), three patients experienced serious pneumonia, and one patient died. Our preliminary study showed TAC is a safe and effective treatment for LN with severe renal disease, and with less-severe adverse events compared with CYC followed Aza therapy. Further larger sample studies are needed to confirm our conclusion.

Abstract: We present 4 cases of Aspergillus fumigatus infection limited to the anastomosed artery following renal transplantation. All grafts were nephrectomized. Two patients received 2 weeks of itraconazole therapy; both showing recurrence of pseudoaneurysms following discontinuation of therapy. Another 2 patients received 3 months of itraconazole therapy without recurrence of pseudoaneurysms. Surgical interventions were life saving. Resection of infected tissues and 3 months of antifungal therapy seemed to give better results than shorter antifungal strategies.

Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is a rare, chronic progressive cerebrovascular occlusive disease that is characterized by a stenosis or occlusion of the bilateral internal carotid arteries and the circle of Willis arteries leading to the development of collateral vessels as visualized by cerebral angiography. We report a case of a 24-year-old woman with nephrotic syndrome whose biopsy showed membranous nephropathy. Ten months after the diagnosis she suffered sudden right hemiplegia and seizure. She was diagnosed with MMS by angiogram seven months ago and received decompressive craniotomy. The patient was admitted to our hospital and a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was made. Glucocorticoids and tacrolimus were used to control the symptoms of SLE. Following one month of immunosuppressant treatment, the patient died of brain hemorrhage. This case alongside another six reviewed cases shows that an underlying cerebrovascular lesion of moyamoya in the vessels of patients with SLE is susceptible to cerebrovascular accidents.

Erosion of the peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter into the bowel is very rare. Some patients experience serious consequences such as peritonitis, difficulties in draining, and feculent dialysate effluent with watery diarrhea, but some patients develop no symptoms. Most cases have occurred upon insertion of a stylet-catheter. Perforation by a PD catheter is distinctly unusual. Here, we report a 72-year-old man who presented with a plastic tube protruding from the anus after defecating. We diagnosed the patient with delayed rectal perforation by a PD catheter. We compare our patient with similar patients identified by a search of the English-language literature indexed at PubMed (keywords: “perforation,” “erosion,” “peritoneal dialysis,” “catheter”) and a search for references within articles identified in the primary search.

BACKGROUND Some adult patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) who are refractory to steroid treatment or combination with immunosuppressive drug developed reversible acute renal failure (ARF) due to persistent severe hypoalbuminemia and proteinuria. It is a challenge to find rescue therapies that are effective and safe in treating such difficult patients. METHODS In this prospective observational study, 13 patients with adult-onset MCNS, all unresponsive to treatment with a steroid or a steroid with other immunosuppressive drugs, were studied from January 2005 to February 2009. All patients developed ARF before enrollment. Oral tacrolimus (TAC) was started at 1 mg/day (target trough levels of 3-6 ng/mL) before serum creatinine (SCr) decreased to ≤133 μmol/L, and then increased doses were given (target trough level of 5-10 ng/mL) when SCr decreased to ≤133 μmol/L. Primary outcome variables were remission, and recovery from ARF. Secondary outcome variables were time to recovery from ARF, time to remission, relapse rate, changes in SCr and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). RESULTS One patient discontinued TAC due to deterioration of ARF, and 12 patients recovered from ARF. The mean time to recovery from ARF was 15.8 ± 4.4 days. Nine patients (69.2%) experienced complete remission (CR) and two patients (15.4%) experienced partial remission (PR). The mean time to PR and CR was 4.8 ± 2.7 and 9.4 ± 2.3 weeks, respectively. After a mean follow-up of 69.6 months, 36.4% (4/11) of patients who had remission experienced relapses. One patient who was resistant to TAC therapy had a doubling of serum creatinine concentration during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS TAC may be a suitable therapeutic option for treatment of adult-onset refractory MCNS with reversible ARF.

The effects of CD20+ B-cell infiltration during acute rejection on graft outcomes are controversial. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to clarify this issue. We performed a systematic literature search for studies published up to January 14, 2016. A total of 5 studies, with 200 patients, were included. The presence of CD20+ B cells in renal biopsies during allograft rejection was associated with graft loss and steroid resistance. No association of CD20+ B-cell infiltration with C4d-positive staining of the peritubular capillaries in renal biopsies was found in the analysis of patients who experienced kidney graft rejection. In conclusion, CD 20+ B cell infiltration during allograft rejection was associated with an increased risk of graft loss and steroid resistance.
