338.2.1.1 Donor Types
- LD (living donor) > DD (deceased)
- DBD vs DCD (expanding)
- ECD (expanded criteria)
- Paired exchange + altruistic
338.2.1.3 Crossmatch
- T-cell crossmatch (Class I, II)
- B-cell crossmatch (Class II)
- Positive = contraindication (pre-formed antibodies)
338.2.1.4 Induction
- Basiliximab (IL-2 receptor antagonist) â low-risk
- rATG (Thymoglobulin) â high-risk, sensitized, DCD
- Alemtuzumab â selected
338.2.1.5 Maintenance Triple
- Tacrolimus + MMF + prednisone (standard)
- mTOR inhibitor alternative
- Belatacept for select
338.2.1.6 Tacrolimus
- CYP3A4 metabolism
- Drug interactions: azoles, macrolides, grapefruit
- Trough 5-10 ng/mL early, 4-7 long-term
- Nephrotoxicity (chronic), neurotoxicity, NODAT, HTN, K+
338.2.1.7 Acute Rejection
- ACR: cellular; pulse steroids 500-1000 mg à 3 d
- AMR: antibody-mediated; plasmapheresis + IVIG + rituximab + bortezomib
- Hyperacute: pre-formed antibodies (rare now)
338.2.1.8 Chronic Allograft Issues
- IFTA (interstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy)
- Chronic active T-cell rejection
- Chronic active AMR
- Recurrence of original disease
338.2.1.9 Infections Post-Transplant
- CMV (most common viral): valganciclovir prophylaxis 6-12 mo
- BK virus nephropathy: PCR monitoring; reduce IS
- PCP: TMP-SMX prophylaxis
- Fungal: candida, aspergillus
- PTLD: EBV-driven; reduce IS + rituximab
338.2.1.10 Malignancy Post-Transplant
- Skin: SCC > BCC
- PTLD: B-cell lymphoma (EBV)
- Kaposi sarcoma (HHV-8)
- Solid organ
- RCC in native kidneys

| Rejection Type | Mechanism | Diagnosis | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyperacute | Pre-formed Ab | Within hours | Graft loss; rare now |
| Acute cellular | T-cell mediated | Cr â, Banff 1A-3 | Pulse steroids; rATG refractory |
| Acute AMR | DSA mediated | C4d on biopsy, DSA | Plasmapheresis + IVIG + rituximab + bortezomib |
| Chronic ACR | T-cell tubulitis | Subclinical biopsy | IS optimization |
| Chronic AMR | DSA + microvascular | Glomerulopathy | Difficult; IS optimization |
| IFTA | Multifactorial | Histology | Address underlying |
