Résumé : | Among 93 consecutive kidney-transplant patients who received prophylactic OKT3 10 mg/day for 2 weeks, 9 had intragraft thromboses within 2 weeks of transplantation. The thromboses were in graft artery in 1 patient and veins in 3. The other 5 had thromboses in glomerular capillaries and thrombotic microangiopathy similar to that of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome. All attempted treatments failed, and the 9 grafts had to be removed. The finding that plasma concentrations of prothrombin fragment 1 and 2 were higher 4 h after the first OKT3 dose in OKT3 recipients than in transplant patients who received other prophylaxis (mean 5.88 [SEM 0.76] vs 2.25 [0.59] nmol/l, p < 0.01) confirms that OKT3 has procoagulant effects in vivo. |
