22 DCD 9 yr, 9 mo 2 yr Unknown None Basiliximab Tacrolimus (purine antagonist stopped) Creatinine: 83 μmol/l, eGFR: >60 ml/min per 1.73 m2
(follow-up: 2 yr 5 mo)

ABOi, ABO incompatible; aHUS, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome; AMR, antibody-mediated rejection; DBD, donor after brain death; DCD, donor after cardiac death; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; LRT, living related transplant; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil.

eGFR by Schwartz formula (all patients were younger than 18 years of age at last follow-up).

a

Concomitant functionally significant CFI mutation.

b

LRT: living donor underwent genetic screening; no rare genetic variant, 0 copies CFHR1, 1 copy CFHR3.

c

Treatment given because of ABO incompatibility: rituximab 1 month before transplant, and immunoadsorption ×4 (anti–A titers reduced from 1:128 to 1:8).

d

Recurrence 9 hours after transplantation. Successfully treated with eculizumab.
