dc.description.abstract | Background. Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is a multisystemic, progressive, and severe disease. Renal involvement is a prominent feature of the disease, and the outcome of patients on dialysis is poor. We aimed to analyze the outcomes of kidney transplantation in patients with AA amyloidosis in comparison with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). Methods. Charts of patients who underwent kidney transplantation between 1988 and 2012 were reviewed; 41 patients with AA amyloidosis were identified, and 41 age-and sex-matched control patients with chronic CGN were included. Baseline characteristics, immunosuppressive regimens, and transplantation-related outcomes were retrieved using a standardized form. Results. the mean follow-up period was 70.9 +/- 44.9 months. the 10-year patient survival was found to be significantly worse in the AA amyloidosis group (62.5%) compared to CGN group (100%) (P =.008). During the follow-up period, three of the 41 patients (9.7%) died of sepsis and one patient died of cardiac complications in the amyloidosis group, whereas there was no patients were lost in the CGN group. the first-year, fifth year, and tenth-year mean graft survival rates, acute and chronic rejections, and mean creatinine levels at last visits were not significantly different between the groups. Proteinuria >1 g/d, cytomegalovirus and tuberculosis infections, and rhabdomyolysis were recorded at a significantly higher rate in patients with amyloidosis. Conclusion. As compared to patients with CGN, patients with AA amyloidosis had a lower patient survival; equal graft survival and rejection rates; and higher risks of developing proteinuria, cytomegalovirus and tuberculosis infections, and rhabdomyolysis. | en_US |
