Abstract

Increasingly successful protocols enabling HLA antibody incompatible renal transplantation have resulted in a rise in the incidence of antibody mediated rejection. There are limited options to treat this feared complication. Eculizumab, a potent inhibitor of the complement cascade, has recently been suggested as a possible addition to treatment of AMR. We report the use of eculizumab in three very high risk transplant recipients.
