Clinical and Histopathological Findings in HIV-positive to HIV-positive Kidney Transplant Recipients
The histological findings in this cohort of HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients who received grafts from unmatched HIV-positive donors revealed a spectrum of abnormalities. Protocol biopsies added to surveillance on borderline rejection and assisted in the recognition of HIVAN. Confirmed rejection occurred in 18 recipients (36%). Understanding the factors contributing to this may assist in the optimization of immunosuppressive protocols in the future.
