    Abstract There are limited data concerning the range and diagnostic significance of the extent of subepithelial electron dense deposits (SEEDD) in membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN). We described the range, and assessed the diagnostic and prognostic significance of extent of SEEDD, particularly in patients with sparse SEEDD, where diagnostic difficulty can arise. Adult renal biopsies with a confident or suspected histological diagnosis of MGN between 2013 and 2020 were included. Patients were classified based on extent of SEEDD as having either global MGN (GMGN, >75% SEEDD), segmental MGN (SMGN, 25%-75% SEEDD), or sparse-SEEDD (<25% SEEDD). Clinical and other features were compared. One hundred and eleven (74%) patients had GMGN; 23 (15%) had SMGN; and 16 (11%) had sparse-SEEDD. Patients with sparse-SEEDD had a significantly shorter duration of nephrotic syndrome prior to biopsy. 53% of patients with GMGN and 14% with SMGN had serum anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2r) antibodies. Patients with sparse-SEEDD did not have anti-PLA2r antibodies. Urine protein:creatinine ratio was significantly lower in sparse-SEEDD patients after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The proportion of sparse-SEEDD patients in complete remission from nephrotic range proteinuria at 6 and 12 months was significantly higher than that of GMGN patients. Analysis of a subgroup suggested sparse-SEEDD patients responded more rapidly to steroid containing immunosuppression than GMGN patients. There is a wide range of extent of SEEDD in patients with MGN. Sparse-SEEDD appears distinct from SMGN and GMGN and may be either an early form of MGN, or an epiphenomenon associated with another primary disease process, particularly minimal change disease.

    Abstract Aims: To assess retrospectively the association between histopathological lesions on renal biopsy and subsequent impairment of renal function across the spectrum of kidney diseases and to explore the influence of immunosuppressive therapy within the first 6 months after biopsy on this association.
    Methods and results: Clinical data from 488 adult patients having a renal biopsy reported at a single centre from 2017 to 2019 were obtained during a median follow-up period of 786 days. Seventeen semi-quantitative histology parameters were recorded at the time of biopsy, 14 of which were suitable for assessment of association with loss of eGFR by multivariable Cox regression analysis, measurement of eGFR slope and measurement of eGFR 12 months after biopsy. A widely used histopathological chronicity score was also assessed. Clinical baseline variables including prescription of immunosuppression were recorded. Seven of 14 histology parameters: mesangial matrix expansion, global glomerulosclerosis, tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, arteriolosclerosis, mesangial hypercellularity and acute tubular injury; and the chronicity score, predicted loss of kidney function by all three measures. Prescription of immunosuppression was more likely in patients with active inflammatory pathology and less likely in patients with chronic fibrotic pathology, and was associated with reduced risk of loss of eGFR.
    Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrates the prognostic significance and complex relationship with immunosuppression of routinely reported histopathological variables in patients having native kidney biopsies, across the spectrum of kidney diseases. It provides useful information for renal biopsy prognostication and design of retrospective studies, including machine learning models.

    Abstract Background: The mechanism by which hypophosphataemia develops following kidney transplantation remains debated, and limited research is available regarding risk factors. This study aimed to assess the association between recipient and donor variables, and the severity of post-transplantation hypophosphataemia.
    Methods: We performed a single-centre retrospective observational study. We assessed the association between demographic, clinical and biochemical variables and the development of hypophosphataemia. We used linear regression analysis to assess association between these variables and phosphate nadir.
    Results: 87.6% of patients developed hypophosphataemia. Patients developing hypophosphataemia were younger, had a shorter time on renal replacement therapy, were less likely to have had a parathyroidectomy or to experience delayed graft function, were more likely to have received a living donor transplant, from a younger donor. They had higher pre-transplantation calcium levels, and lower alkaline phosphatase levels. Receipt of a living donor transplant, lower donor age, not having had a parathyroidectomy, receiving a transplant during the era of tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, not having delayed graft function, higher pre-transplantation calcium, and higher pre-transplantation phosphate were associated with lower phosphate nadir by multiple linear regression.
    Conclusions: This analysis demonstrates an association between variables relating to better graft function and hypophosphataemia. The links with biochemical measures of mineral-bone disease remain less clear.

    Abstract Background: In order to expand the pool of usable donors from circulatory death (DCD) there is increasing interest in normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) to assess and improve liver viability.
    Methods: Data was obtained from a prospectively maintained database between December 2012 and September 2018. Primary endpoints were incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
    Results: Six-hundred and thirty-two decease donor kidneys were transplanted, 229 from DCD donors, 29 of which had NRP. The DGF rate was lower for NRP versus DCD (six of 29, 20.7% vs. 70 of 200, 35.0%) with reduced duration of DGF. Multivariate analysis demonstrated transplant type to be a statistically significant independent predictor of eGFR at 7 and 14 days. Early transplant function in NRP kidneys was comparable to DBD. There were no graft losses within 30 days in the NRP group. One-year graft loss rate was 3.4% for NRP and 6.0% for standard DCD.
    Conclusion: This data suggests NRP is safe, and reduces rates of DGF and improves early renal transplant function.

    Abstract Background: Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), commonly caused by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), is associated with progression to stage 5 chronic kidney disease, requirement for kidney replacement therapy and a risk of disease recurrence post-kidney transplantation. Ofatumumab (OFA) is a fully humanised monoclonal antibody to CD20, with similar mechanisms of action to rituximab (RTX).
    Methods: We report a case series of seven UK patients (five paediatric, two adult), all of whom developed FSGS recurrence after kidney transplantation and received OFA as part of their therapeutic intervention. All also received concomitant plasmapheresis. The 2-year outcome of these seven patients is reported, describing clinical course, kidney function and proteinuria.
    Results: Four patients (all paediatric) achieved complete urinary remission with minimal proteinuria 12 months post-treatment. Three of those four also had normal graft function. Two patients showed partial remission-brief improvement to non-nephrotic proteinuria (197 mg/mmol) in one patient, maintained improvement in kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate 76 ml/min/1.73 m
    Conclusions: OFA may represent a useful addition to therapeutic options in the management of FSGS recurrence post-transplantation, including where RTX has shown no benefit. Concomitant plasmapheresis in all patients prevents any definitive conclusion that OFA was the beneficial intervention.
