Kidney Transplantation in Childhood-Onset Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis: Long-Term Outcomes and Prognostic Factors

Trivioli, G. ; Mohammad, A.J. LU and Vaglio, Augusto (2026) In Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology 21(3). p.480-493
Abstract
Background: – Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is rare in children, and results in kidney failure in up to one third of cases. There is very limited knowledge on kidney transplantation in childhood-onset AAV. We assessed kidney transplantation outcomes and prognostic factors in a multicentre cohort of patients with childhood-onset AAV.Methods: – Patients diagnosed with AAV during childhood (≤18 years) who received a kidney transplant were included in this retrospective study. We determined patient and graft survival, rates of chronic graft dysfunction (defined as eGFR
