Abstract： Objective To investigate the pathological type and characteristics of renal allograft in kidney transplantation recipients,and to analyze the relevant clinical conditions and prognosis of renal function.Methods 230 patients received renal allograft biopsy after renal transplantation.The pathological type and characteristics of renal allograft specimens were observed,and the serum creatinine (SCr) in the recipients with different pathological types were analyzed.The function of renal allograft in the recipients was followed-up after one year,and their prognosis was evaluated.Results In 10 cases of protocol biopsy,normal renal tissues were found in 9 cases,IgA nephropathy occurred at the 3rd month after transplantation.In 220 cases having impaired renal function,there were 33 cases of borderline change,45 cases of acute rejection (AR),24 cases of chronic rejection (CR),26 cases of chronic allograft nephrapathy (CAN),and 39 cases of posttransplantation glomerulonephritis (PTGN).Except for above 167 cases,lesions of 28 cases showed multiple pathology types.Furthermore,there were 8 cases of calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity (CNI-NT),7 cases of BK virus nephropathy (BKVN),and 5 cases of acute tubular necrosis (ATN).Five cases could not be diagnosed for little tissue.In the recipients with pathological diagnosis of borderline change,AR,CR,CAN and nephritis,SCr levels were (171 ± 17),(259 ± 25),(343 ± 33),(406 ± 67) and (207 ± 26) respectively.There was significant difference in SCr levels of recipients among the above 5 groups (P＜0.01).One year after biopsy,137 recipients (80.2%) were followed up.The dysfunction rate of renal allograft was 3.1%,18.2%,22.2 %,33.3% and 13.5% respectively.The △SCr was (-47 ± 20.7),(-37.3± 36.9),(25.5 ± 24.3),(13.5 ± 27.7) and (25.2 ± 17.1) μmol/L respectively.Conclusion Complex and diverse pathological changes were showed in renal allograft.Accurate diagnoses come from renal biopsy and clinical analysis may help clinicians select appropriate treatment programs to promote long-term graft survival.
