PURPOSE: There is scant literature describing the long-term outcome of the use of antithymocyte globulin induction immunotherapy in pediatric deceased donor kidney transplants. We retrospectively studied the long-term results and safety of antithymocyte globulin as induction immunotherapy in all children undergoing transplantation at our institution since 1991.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 120 kidney transplants were performed in 95 patients 18 years or younger between January 1986 and December 1998. Patients were divided into 2 groups. The control group (63 patients) received cyclosporine, azathioprine and prednisolone, while the treatment group (59 patients) received rabbit antithymocyte globulin (RATG) induction immunotherapy for 6 to 10 days, combined with cyclosporine, azathioprine and prednisolone.
RESULTS: Actuarial patient survival rates at 1, 3, 5 and 10 years were 96%, 95%, 95% and 90%, respectively. Actuarial graft survival rates at 1, 3, 5 and 10 years were 76%, 69%, 64% and 49%, respectively. The 1, 3, 5 and 10-year graft survival rates in the control group were 62%, 57%, 51% and 36%, respectively, compared to 90%, 82%, 79% and 69%, respectively, in the RATG group (p = 0.001). There was a significant difference in the incidence of graft loss secondary to acute cellular rejection between the control and RATG groups (19.7% vs 3.3%, p = 0.008). There was no difference in infectious complications between the control and RATG groups (13% vs 20%, p = 0.33), and there was no case of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder encountered in either group.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of rabbit antithymocyte globulin in pediatric deceased donor kidney transplant recipients resulted in significant improvement in graft survival and was relatively safe.
