背景:肾移植后特发性膜性肾病(iMN)的复发很常见,尽管其确切的临床意义尚不清楚。本系统综述旨在阐明iMN复发对移植物存活的影响。
方法:通过系统地搜索Medline,Scopus,WebofScience,和谷歌学者从一开始。检查肾移植后iMN复发的队列研究被认为是合格的。采用随机效应模型进行Meta分析。
结果:纳入了1995年至2016年发表的十二(12)篇文章,报道了139例复发性iMN移植患者。随访35~120个月,诊断复发性iMN的中位时间为18个月。肾移植iMN复发的危险因素是移植前血清抗PLA2R抗体检测阳性,女性性别,年龄较小,移植前高蛋白尿,从初始疾病到终末期慢性肾病的最长间隔,以及HLADQA105:01和HLADQB102:01的等位基因组合。在移植前阶段,37例(26.61%)患者的血清检测呈阳性,18例(12.94%)患者的抗PLA2R抗体活检染色呈阳性。移植前阳性血清测试对这些抗体的敏感性为57%至85.30%,特异性为85.10-100%。共有81.80%的患者接受利妥昔单抗作为iMN复发的治疗获得了完全缓解和部分缓解,而18.20%对治疗无反应。iMN复发与移植物丢失率无显著差异(比值比=1.03,95%CI:0.52-2.04,p=0.524,I2=0.00%)。iMN的复发与移植物丢失风险的增加无关,独立于患者是否接受了利妥昔单抗治疗(OR:0.98,95%CI:0.39-2.50,I2:0%)或不接受利妥昔单抗治疗(OR:1.22,95%CI:0.58-2.59,I2:3.8%)。iMN复发患者获得缓解后,移植物丢失的风险显着降低(OR:0.14,95%CI:0.03至0.73)。
结论:这项系统评价的主要结果是,与长期随访中没有复发的患者相比,iMN复发患者的移植物存活率没有统计学上的显着差异。缓解的实现与移植物丢失的风险显着降低有关。
BACKGROUND: The recurrence of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN) after kidney transplantation is common, although its exact clinical significance remains unclear. This systematic review aims to elucidate the effects of iMN recurrence on graft survival.
METHODS: A literature search was performed by systematically searching Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from inception. Cohort studies examining iMN recurrence after kidney transplantation were deemed eligible. Meta-analysis was performed by fitting random-effects models.
RESULTS: Twelve (12) articles published from 1995 to 2016 reporting on 139 transplant patients with recurrent iMN were included. The median time of the diagnosis of recurrent iMN was 18 months during follow-up from 35 to 120 months. Risk factors for iMN recurrence in the renal allograft are a positive serum test for anti-PLA2R antibodies pretransplant, female sex, younger age, high proteinuria pretransplant, the longest interval from initial disease to end-stage chronic kidney disease, and the combination of alleles HLA DQA1 05:01 and HLA DQB1 02:01. In the pretransplant period, 37 (26.61%) patients had a positive serum test and 18 (12.94%) patients had a positive biopsy stain for anti-PLA2R antibodies. The sensitivity of the pretransplant positive serum test for these antibodies ranges from 57% to 85.30% and the specificity is 85.10-100%. A total of 81.80% of patients who received rituximab as treatment for iMN recurrence achieved complete and partial remission, while 18.20% had no response to treatment. iMN recurrence was not associated with significantly different rates of graft loss (odds ratio = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.52-2.04, p = 0.524, I2 = 0.00%). Recurrence of iMN was not associated with increased risk of graft loss independently of whether patients were treated with rituximab (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.39-2.50, I2: 0%) or not (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 0.58-2.59, I2: 3.8%). Patients with iMN recurrence who achieved remission had significantly reduced risk of graft loss (OR: 0.14, 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.73).
CONCLUSIONS: The main outcome from this systematic review is that there is no statistically significant difference in graft survival in patients with iMN recurrence compared to those without recurrence in long-term follow-up. The achievement of remission is associated with significantly reduced risk of graft loss.
