Abstract

The diagnosis of acute antibody mediated rejection (ABMR) after kidney transplantation is based on three parameters: 1) decreased renal function, 2) histopathological signs of rejection, 3) presence of Donor Specific Antibody (DSA) [1]. Patient survival, as well as graft survival have improved since 5 to 10 years [2], thanks to several factors, including better management of patients, better immunosuppressive regimens, detection and avoidance of DSA. Although anti-HLA antibodies follow-up have improved ABMR management, its treatment remains challenging, and outcome may be worsened because of a delay in the diagnosis.
