Abstract

Amyloidosis is the most common and devastating complication of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Renal transplantation is the choice of treatment of in most end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We report our experience on the outcomes in eight patients who underwent renal transplantation for ESRD due to FMF secondary to amyloidosis, and we provide a discussion on the current evidence on this topic of study. The clinical charts of eight renal transplant patients (seven male, one female) who underwent ESRD due to FMF-related amyloidosis were investigated. Five patients underwent living-donor renal transplantation and three patients underwent deceased-donor renal transplant. The mean follow-up period was 35 months (range 3-72). All patients were on triple immunosuppressive treatment and received colchicine. All allografts are currently functioning well with a mean serum creatinine level of 1.4 (range 0.7-2.6) mg/dL. Posttransplantation complications included acute rejection (n = 4), chronic rejection (n = 1), severe gastroenteritis (n = 2), and erythrocytosis (n = 5). None of the patients had proteinuria. During follow-up, we did not observe clinically severe FMF attack, septicemia, rhabdomylosis, symptoms related to vasculitis, and ...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
