| Summary: | Aim: To assess the Eculizumab effect on the allografted kidney function in the immediate and early postoperative period.Materials and methods: In kidney transplantation, 33 patients received Eculizumab in combination with Alemtuzumab (group 1). Other 38 patients (group 2) were enrolled for a comparative analysis. They received their induction immunosuppressive therapy with Alemtuzumab and plasmapheresis sessions. The following parameters were used for analysis: the urine output in the first 24 hours after surgery, the period of creatinine level drop to 3 mg/dL, a 24-hour protein excretion at day 30 after surgery, a glomerular filtration rate at day 30 after transplantation, histology of kidney allograft biopsy at 1 month post surgery.Results: A comparative analysis has demonstrated much lower values of 24 hour proteinuria in group 1 than in group 2. As to the glomerular filtration rate, it was 1.9 times higher in group 1 than in group 2. The period of blood creatinine subnormalization was significantly shorter in group 1. The differences were statistically significant in all studied parameters (p=0.002–0.003).Conclusion: The allografted kidney function was much better in group 1 than in group 2. Thus, the combination of Eculizumab + Alemtuzumab had a more favorable effect on the function and morphology of allografted kidneys in the immediate and early postoperative periods compared to that of Alemtuzumab + plasmapheresis combination. |
