Popis: Introduction ABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation, a well-established procedure, has good long-term results provided pretransplant desensitization that includes immunosuppression and apheresis. Objective To compare, within the first pretransplant apheresis session given to 29 ABOi kidney-transplant candidates, the effect on isoagglutinin titers (both IgG and IgM isotypes) of three modalities: centrifugation therapeutic plasmapheresis (cTP; n = 10), filtration TP (fTP; n = 9), and double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP; n = 10). Results The three groups were comparable according to baseline demographics. Treated plasma volumes were similar across the three groups, that is, 4111 ± 403 mL (cTP), 3861 ± 282 mL (fTP), and 3699 ± 820 mL (DFPP): that is, 54 ± 7, 53 ± 7, and 53 ± 10 mL/kg respectively. One session of centrifugation or filtration TP reduced IgG anti-A/anti-B isoagglutinin titer by ~4, whereas one DFPP session reduced it by ~2. One session of cTP reduced IgM anti-A isoagglutinin titer by a little less than 4, whereas fTP and DFPP sessions reduced it by ~3. There were no statistical differences across the three groups regarding isoagglutinin rebound (IgG and IgM). However, isoagglutinin IgG rebound was >4 dilutions for anti-B titers compared with ~2 dilutions for anti-A titers. The median decreases in IgG level were -3.9 g/L (DFPP), -5.9 g/L (cTP), and - 6.06 g/L (fTP) (p = ns). Median fibrinogen depletions were ~ 60% (fTP), 64% (DFPP), and 76% (cTP). Conclusions Isoagglutinin depletions within the first apheresis session were similar across cTP, fTP, and DFPP: this was numerically lower for DFPP.
