Clinical observation of preventing pulmonary infection by immunoglobulin after renal transplantation.

Objective: To elucidate the clinical value of using immunoglobulin to prevent pulmonary infection by monitor the T lymphocyte levels in patients after renal transplantation.Methods: A total of 30 cases with renal transplantation were selected from January 2007 to June 2009,the change of T lymphocyte subsets were measured after renal transplantation,according to the change,18 cases were divided into control group,others were into treatment group.The patients were given with immunoglobulin 0.2g·kg-1·d-1×3d in treatment group.The incidence of pulmonary infection,renal function and T lymphocyte subsets were observed.Results: T lymphocyte subsets were lower in treatment group than that of control group.The incidence of common pneumonia and severe pneumonia showed no significant difference between control group and treatment group(P0.05);T lymphocyte level was lower in treatment group(P0.05) before treatment than that of control group,and significantly increased in patients treated with immunoglobulin(P0.05).Conclusion: Treating with immunoglobulin according to T lymphocyte levels in early stage of post-renal transplantation patients can reduce lung infections and complications,recover immune function in time and improve survival rate.
