Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to determine if immune or nonimmune and acute or chronic lesions associated with mesangiolysis (MGLS) occurred in biopsy-proven pathological chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (P-CAABMR) in kidney transplant biopsies. Methods: We evaluated MGLS in 41 patients with biopsy findings of P-CAABMR from January 2016 to December 2019. Histological scoring was evaluated by Banff classification. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed using a forward selection method. Results: Fifteen of the 41 P-CAABMR biopsies (36.6%) cases showed MGLS. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was significantly lower in the MGLS-positive compared with the MGLS-negative group, and proteinuria was significantly higher in the MGLS-positive compared with the MGLS-negative group. In the clinical model, multivariate analysis was performed using covariates of eGFR and duration after transplantation significantly correlated with MGLS by simple analysis, in addition to type of calcineurin inhibitor use (tacrolimus or cyclosporine), donor-specific antibodies, diabetes, and hypertension grade defined by use of antihypertensive therapy or/and blood pressure level. Only hypertension grade was significantly correlated with MGLS. In the pathological model, multivariate analysis was performed using the presence of FSGS and the aah and cg scores significantly correlated with MGLS by simple analysis, in addition to g and ptc scores. The cg score was significantly correlated with hypertension grade, duration after transplantation, g, ah, and aah. Conclusion: Lower graft function and higher proteinuria was observed in MGLS of P-CAABMR. The Banff cg score was independently related to MGLS in multivariate analysis. Sustained glomerulitis, calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity, and hypertension may cause Banff cg lesions, leading to MGLS in P-CAABMR.
