Zusammenfassung

Background: Peripheral blood regulatory T cell counts might be used for decision-making in the clinical management of kidney transplant recipients. Objectives: Evaluation of the relationships between regulatory T cells and various clinical kidney transplant outcomes. Methods: The percentage of regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+CD127–) was determined in 35 stable kidney transplant patients treated with calcineurin inhibitors or mammalian Target Of Rapamycin inhibitors, and 11 kidney recipients developing cancer or severe infections under treatment with sirolimus or everolimus. These percentages were interpreted according to clinical circumstances associated with an increased risk of acute rejection, cancer and severe infections in the post-transplant period, that were assessed by the Delphi method. Results: High regulatory T cell percentages were observed in stable patients under sirolimus or everolimus, and in patients with cancer and severe infections. These high percentages were not associated with rejection. The Delphi showed that these cells may be insufficient in the setting of an overwhelming inflammatory process and using nephrotoxic immunosuppressants, so that this may contribute to an increased risk of rejection. These cells may also be associated with an in- creased risk of cancer or severe infections in the post-transplant period in the cases of, respecti- vely, a past cancer for a new tumor, and recurrent infections and treatment with sirolimus or everolimus for severe infections. Conclusions: Regulatory T cell counts should be interpreted considering the impact of pro-inflam- matory factors and immunosuppressants. Regarding cancer, probably other factors should be considered. There is a relationship between regulatory T cells and post-transplant infections.
