Abstract

Heart transplant patients need close monitoring of acute rejection in the postoperative period. Histopathological assessment of the endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is essential for the diagnosis of acute rejection after heart transplantation. However cytoimmunologic monitoring (CIM) is a simple noninvasive method in the diagnosis of acute rejection which can be performed daily. In this prospective study we investigated the efficacy of CIM in the early diagnosis of acute rejection in 13 cardiac allograft recipients. We compared the data of CIM, EMB and the clinic status of patients. The sensitivity of CIM was calculated as 85,7 percent, the specificity 75 percent and the predictive value 85,7 percent. We conclude that CIM helps timing of EMB and allows for reduction of its frequency. However, according to its limited help, it should be used together with other methods of rejection diagnosis.

Özet

Kardiyak transplantasyon hastaları postoperatif dönemde akut rejeksiyon açısından yakın takip gerektirirler. Transplantasyon sonrası akut rejeksiyonun tanısında endomiyokardiyal biyopsi (EMB) temel yöntemdir. Bununla birlikte sitoimmunolojik monitörizasyon (CIM), akut rejeksiyon tanısında basit, noninvaziv ve günlük kullanıma uygun bir metoddur. Bu prospektif çalışmada kliniğimizde ortotopik kalp transplantasyonu yapılan 13 hastada sitoimmünolojik monitörizasyonun akut rejeksiyonun erken tanısındaki etkinliğini saptamayı ve literatür bilgileri ışığında tartışmayı amaçladık. Hastaların ilk 6 aylık takiplerindeki CIM verilerini, EMB ve klinikleri ile karşılaştırdık. Elde edilen sonuçlarla CIM 'in sensivitesi %85,71, spesivitesi %75 ve pozitif tahmin değeri %85,71 bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak CIM kalp transplantasyonu yapılan hastaların özellikle erken dönem günlük takibinde EMB'nin sıklığını azaltıcı ve zamanlaması için fikir vericidir, ancak akut rejeksiyon tanısında sınırlı yardımı olduğu gözönüne alınarak diğer tanı metodlarıyla birlikte kullanılmalıdır.
