Kidney Transplant Part 2 Flashcards
ample uo and falling crea
excellent graft
need for one or more hd within 1st week
DGF
moderate early graft dysfunction, plasma crea > 3 at 1 week post kt
Sgf
rejection occuring 2-5 days after transplant
Accelerated rejection
important risk factor for dgf c
cold ischemia time
high risk patients with rejection symptoms
biopsy day 3-5
low risk patients
biopsy day 7-10
Tx of acute abmr
pulse, plasmapharesis, ivig, rituximab
Mild/moderate tcmr
Steroid pulse
Severe tcmr mgt
steroid pulse:thymoglobuling
high cni levels
Cyclosporine > 350
tacrolimus > 15
common adverse effect of mmf and tacrolimus
diarrhea
renal artery or vein thrombosis occurs in the
1st 72h-10 weeks
most common cause of allograft function in the first week
acute vascular thrombosis
abrupt onset of anuria, rapidly rising crea, negligible graft pain, absent arterial and venous blood flow, MR absent perfusion
renal artery thrombosis
anuria pain tenderness swelling hematuria, absent renal venous blood flow and highly abnormal renal arterial waveforms, mr thrombus in the vein
renal vein thrombosis
failure of impvt in urine output or plasma crea within 5 days of pulse
steroid resistant tcmr
tx depleting antibodies
tcmr resistant to tx witg antilymphocytic antibody
refractory tcell mediated rejection
standard target levels of cyclosporine
C0 150-300, 100-200
C2 1400-1700, 800-1299
standard level tacrolimus
C0 8-12, 6-9
initial measure in transplant tma
switch cni
dc cni, start belatacept or mtor
pex
eculizumab
most common microorganism acute pyelo post kt
Gram neg, cons, enterococci
most common dryg causing ain
smx tmp
best radiologic technique for determining site of obstruction
percutaneous antegrade pyelography
