PG - 202-216 LID - S0272-6386(21)00692-2 [pii] LID - 10.1053/j.ajkd.2021.04.015 [doi] AB - RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Data on kidney transplantation outcomes among patients with monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) are lacking. STUDY DESIGN: Case series of patients with MGRS, some of whom received clone-directed therapies before kidney transplantation. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: 28 patients who underwent kidney transplantation from 1987 through 2016 after diagnosis with MGRS-associated lesions including light-chain deposition disease (LCDD), C3 glomerulopathy with monoclonal gammopathy (C3G-MG), and light-chain proximal tubulopathy (LCPT). FINDINGS: Of the 19 patients with LCDD, 10 were treated before kidney transplantation and 9 were treatment-naive. Among the treated patients with LCDD, 3 (30%) experienced histologic recurrence, 2 (20%) grafts failed, and 2 (20%) died during a median follow-up of 70 (range, 3-162) months after transplant. In the treatment-naive LCDD group, 8 (89%) had histologic recurrence, 6 (67%) grafts failed, and 4 (44%) patients died during a median follow-up of 60 (range, 35-117) months. Of the 5 patients who had a complete response before transplant, none died, and only 1 experienced graft failure, 162 months after transplant. Of 5 patients with C3G-MG, 3 were treatment-naive before transplant. Both patients who were treated before transplant had histologic recurrence, and 1 experienced graft failure and died. Among the 3 patients with treatment-naive C3G-MG, histologic recurrence occurred in all, and graft loss and death were observed in 2 and 1, respectively. In the LCPT group (n=4), histologic recurrence was observed in all 3 patients who did not receive clone-directed therapies before transplant, and 2 of these patients died, 1 with a functioning kidney. The 1 patient with LCPT who received therapy before transplant did not have histologic recurrence or graft loss and survived. LIMITATIONS: Small sample size, nonstandardized clinical management, retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS: Recurrence is very common in all MGRS-associated lesions after kidney transplant. Achieving a complete hematologic response may reduce the risks of recurrence, graft loss, and death. More studies are needed to determine the effects of hematologic response on outcomes for each MGRS-associated lesion. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 National Kidney Foundation, Inc.
