Abstract

The use of bortezomib as a treatment modality of AHR improved and stabilized graft function (clinical response) in the majority of patients. Its use in single dose, even combined with rituximab, does not seem to be useful to obtain a sustained clinical response neither to reduce HLAabs level. The use of 4 doses of bortezomib in days 1, 4, 7, and 10 (1.3 mg/m2 BSA each) plus plasmapheresis produced both a good clinical response and a reduction in DSA. Moving forward, it will necessary to define the long-term effectiveness of bortezomib and whether rituximab administration is indispensable to achieve this goal.
