[HTML][HTML] Kidney allograft survival after acute rejection, the value of follow-up biopsies
Kidney allografts are frequently lost due to alloimmunity. Still, the impact of early acute
rejection (AR) on long-term graft survival is debated. We examined this relationship focusing
on graft histology post-AR and assessing specific causes of graft loss. Included are 797
recipients without anti-donor antibodies (DSA) at transplant who had 1 year protocol
biopsies. 15.2% of recipients had AR diagnosed by protocol or clinical biopsies. Compared
to no-AR, all histologic types of AR led to abnormal histology in 1 and 2 years protocol …
