Current research is focusing on identifying bioclinical parameters for risk stratification of renal allograft loss, largely due to antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). We retrospectively investigated graft outcome predictors in 24 unsensitized pediatric kidney recipients developing HLA de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSAs), and treated for...

IntroductionImmunity to Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) cannot explain all cases of ABMR, nor the differences observed in the outcome of kidney recipients with circulating DSAs endowed with similar biologic characteristics. Thus, increasing attention has recently been focused on the role of immunity to non-HLA antigenic targets. MethodsWe...

De novo posttransplant donor-specific HLA-antibody (dnDSA) detection is now recognized as a tool to identify patients at risk for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and graft loss. It is still unclear whether the time interval from transplant to DSA occurrence influences graft damage. Utilizing sera collected longitudinally, we evaluated 114...
