Abstract
Kidney transplant (KT) or renal transplant is 1 of the preferred treatment options for patients with end-stage renal disease, but the presence of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) further increases the risk of reoccurrence with graft rejection, and poor outcomes. ABO incompatibility further adds to the rejection risk. Here, we present a case of a young adult with a history of aHUS undergoing a successful ABO-incompatible (ABOi) renal transplant. ABO incompatibility desensitization was carried out, and the antibody titer was reduced to nullify the risk of rejection. Graft acceptance was facilitated by triple immunosuppression (steroid, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil), and 4-month serum creatinine follow-up indicated the absence of antibody-mediated rejection and recurrence of aHUS. This case demonstrates that in patients with aHUS, ABOi renal transplant can be performed successfully.
