AKI, acute kidney injury; CKD, chronic kidney disease; CNI, calcineurin inhibitor therapy; ESKD, end- stage kidney disease; HELLP, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count; IFTA, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy; ND, not determined; TMA, thrombotic microangiopathy.
Vascular lesions are classified as minimal, moderate, or severe; IF, Deposits in immunofluorescence.
None of the patients received anti-C5 antibody therapy either after initial manifestation of TMA or as prevention of transplantation.
