    Abstract Monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) defines disorders characterized by direct or indirect kidney injury caused by a monoclonal immunoglobulin produced by a B-cell or plasma-cell clone that does not meet current hematologic criteria for therapy. MGRS-associated kidney diseases are diverse and can result in the development of end-stage kidney disease. The current paradigm states that the underlying hematologic condition should be treated and in deep remission before kidney transplantation can be performed because recurrence has been reported for all MGRS-associated kidney diseases. However, we suggest that decisions regarding kidney transplantation in MGRS patients should be individualized considering many factors such as the subtype of MGRS-associated kidney disease, patient age and comorbidity, presence and risk of extrarenal complications, estimated waiting time, the availability of a living kidney donor, and previous hematological treatment and response. Thus, kidney transplantation should be considered even in treatment-naive patients, with hematological treatment initiated after successful kidney transplantation.

    Abstract Introduction: In 2014, a complement assay, which evaluates C5b-9 deposition on endothelial cells, was proposed as a biomarker for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Early diagnosis and/or prediction of aHUS (relapse) is pivotal in aHUS kidney transplant recipients who do not receive eculizumab prophylaxis.
    Methods: In this pilot study, serum samples of transplanted patients with aHUS in remission without eculizumab and patients with other primary kidney diseases (controls) were blinded and evaluated in the complement assay.
    Results: We included 13 patients with aHUS (4 males, 9 females) of median age of 54 years (range: 35-69) and median of 5.9 years (range: 0.25-14.1) after transplantation; and 13 controls (7 males, 6 females) of median age of 42 years (range: 27-60) and median of 5.8 years (range: 1.6-11.7) after transplantation. There were no significant differences in C5b-9 deposits between patients with aHUS and controls on resting cells (median of 136% [range: 93%-382%] and 121% [range: 75%-200%], respectively) and activated cells (median of 196% [range: 99%-388%] and 170% [range: 113%-260%], respectively). Three patients with aHUS and 4 controls showed elevated C5b-9 deposits on resting cells, which should correspond to active aHUS. None of these patients had laboratory signs of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). During follow-up (15.8 months, range: 6-21), estimated glomerular filtration rate remained stable in all. In 5 patients with aHUS with a genetic variant, no increase in C5b-9 deposits was found on activated endothelial cells, which contrasts with the literature suggesting that the test should identify carriers of a genetic variant.
    Conclusion: Our data question the routine use of the
