Predictive Factors of Graft-Censored Failure in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation

Renal transplantation in children under 3 years of age: Experience from a single‐center study

“…We have observed in our cohort that young age at RTx was a significant risk factor for EBV infection after RTx. Although age at RTx does not directly influence the occurrence of PTLD, other risk factors were cited: the number of acute rejection episodes, high‐dose immunosuppression, negative serology for EBV prior to RTx, and subsequent EBV primo‐infection or reactivation. Among the four cases of PTLD reported here, two were EBV‐induced (1 in G1 and 1 in G3), and we found no differences between age groups regarding neoplastic complications (N = 7, 7.3% of patients), which is a similar incidence to the one we reported previously in the entire cohort …”

Collaborative Brazilian Pediatric Renal Transplant Registry (CoBrazPed-RTx): A Report From 2004 to 2013

“…Although patient and graft survival rates were higher when LD were used [10], the Brazilian allocation system prioritizes pediatric recipients to receive allografts from pediatric DD.…”

Oral Session: Kidney III: Sensitization and Antibody‐Mediated Rejection

“…The association between AR and graft outcomes in adult kidney transplant recipients is well established [1] . In paediatrics this association has been demonstrated in small single-center studies [2] [3] . A recent large paediatric registry study demonstrated AR in the 1st year post-transplant as a major risk factor for graft loss (adjusted HR 2.11 (1.81-2.47)p <.001), but not mortality [4] .…”
