Cyclosporin and Kidney transplantation • Calcineurininhibitorintroduced in late 1970s • Considerableimprovement in graftsurvival in the short term • Not in the long term Transplant Proc 1993; 25: 527-529
Chronic CNI nephrotoxicity • Acute and chronicnephrotoxicity • Long-term use of CsA in heart transplant recipientsassociatedwithirreversible and progressive tubulo-interstitialinjury and glomerulosclerosis Myers et al. New Engl J Med 311:699-705, 1984 • Vasculareffects • Arteriolarhyalinosis • Pearl Necklace pattern • Tubulo-interstitialeffects • Stripedfibrosis • Glomerulareffects • FSGS • Glomerulosclerosis
Chronic CNI nephrotoxicity N=119 Renal Biopsies=959 100% after 10 years …BUT NO CONTROL GROUP WITHOUT CNI And small number of biopsies at 10 years Nankivell BJ et al. New Engl J Med 2003
Material and methods (1) • Retrospectiveanalysis 1975-1990 • N=141 • 423 Renal Biopsies M3, M24, 10 years • Updated Banff 97 classification CONTROL GROUP Cyclosporine (CSA) GROUP N=93 N=48 Induction therapy 50% Steroids Azathioprine 2mg/kg/d Induction therapy 85% Steroids Azathioprine CsA
* ** Material and methods (2) • Demographics • Chronichistologicalparameters • IF/TA (0 to III) • Arterialfibrousintimalthickening (cv0 to cv3) • Arteriolarhyalinosis (ah0 to ah3) • Pearl Necklace-likepattern ** • Sub-endothelialdeposits * • Renalfunction (MDRD) and graftsurvival • CSA doses and bloodtroughlevels

In conclusion • First study comparing biopsies from CNI and non CNI treated patients in the long term • Chronic lesions in the CsA group more frequent and severe…but also present in the control group • CNI arteriolopathy (muscular deposits) not specific neither constant after 10y of CsA exposure • Use great caution before concluding « CNI nephrotoxicity »
