Degree of HLA matching and kidney function transplantation at Thai Nguyen national hospital
Overview
Abstract:
Objectives: Describe the characteristics
of anti-HLA antibodies, the degree of HLA reconciliation and affect
post-transplant renal function in kidney transplant patients at ThaiNguyen General
Hospital. Subjects and research methods:
Descriptive research methods with retrospective, research data of 21 kidney
transplant pairs (donors and recipients) performed at Thai Nguyen Central
Hospital from 2016 - 2019. Results:
Harmony of HLA with 1 allele in HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-DR accounts for the highest
percentage, 01 complete pairing (all 6 alleles), harmonizing with 3 alleles the
highest proportion (57,1%). Negative antibodies to HLA antibodies accounted for
the highest rate of 57.1%, then positive for anti-HLA-A and B antibodies,
accounting for 4.8%; 23,8 positive for anti-HLA-DR antibodies, DQ (19,0%);
Renal function after transplantation tends to gradually stabilize, (p
<0.05); Renal creatinine concentration tended to be better in couples with >3
alleles compared with the other group at the time after transplantation, (p
<0.05); There is a positive correlation between the occurrence of anti-HLA
antibodies and post-transplant creatinine levels at 2 weeks, 1 month and 12
months. Conclusion: Human leukocyte
antigen (HLA) levels and the presence of anti-HLA antibodies are associated with
post-transplant kidney function and the most basic tests in the selection of
grafted and received pairs in kidney transplants. Choosing the right pair of
pairing with the use of immunosuppressive drugs will increase the success rate
of the transplant.
