Introduction

The use of therapeutic apheresis (TA) either as adjunctive or stand alone treatment in kidney transplantation has increased over the years to become a leading indication. This study shows recent trends in indications for TA related to kidney transplantation, adverse events, grafts and patient survival in this cohort.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort review of adults who underwent apheresis for kidney transplant indications from January 2017 to December 2022 at the University of Virginia Health, Virginia, USA. The data extracted included basic demographics, indications, number of procedures, procedure characteristics, serum ionized calcium and creatinine. Data was analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS 2022 IBM Inc).

Results

Conclusions

Antibody mediated rejection was the most common indication. Adverse events were mild and graft survival over the time points were remarkable
