5. Summary and Conclusions—Table 1
LN | ANCA-GN | HSP | |
---|---|---|---|
Admission to kidney transplantation | 46% | 12–24% | Unknown |
Timing of transplantation | No more than 12 months in patients with active LN | Wait 12 months for remission | Wait for remission in patients with rapidly progressive disease |
Patient survival | Reduced in deceased donor recipients | High early mortality | Better than controls |
Graft survival | Reduced in deceased donor recipients | Good after one year; increased cancer risk | Similar to controls |
Recurrence rate in clinical kidney biopsy | 2.5–11% | 9–36.8% | 15–42% |
Recurrence rate in surveillance kidney biopsy | 30–56% | Not performed | 69% |
Predictors of recurrence | Black non-Hispanic ethnicity, females, age < 33 years | ANCA positivity: debated; no other predictors | Crescentic glomerulonephritis in the native kidney |
Impact of recurrence | 2–11%: No negative impact | Up to 30%: Impact undefined | 13.6% vs. 6.6%: Negative impact |
Treatment of recurrence | Only for class III or class IV MMP pulses, Cyc, RTX | MMP, Cyc, RTX, plasma exchange | No effective therapy |
