There is limited information about the role of protocol kidney biopsies for de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) in kidney transplant recipients, especially in those with stable graft function. We initiated a routine posttransplant DSA monitoring and surveillance biopsy program for dnDSA since 2014. We identified 45 kidney transplant recipients with dnDSA detected between January 2014 and February 2017 who underwent kidney biopsy within 60 days of detection of dnDSA. Twenty-nine (64%) had stable graft function and 16 (36%) had impaired graft function at the time of dnDSA detection. Even in the group with stable graft function, we found a high rate of rejection (53%) on biopsy. Eighty-eight percent of patients with impaired graft function had rejection. Those patients with impaired graft function had significantly lower estimated glomerular filtration rate at 12 months postbiopsy and at last follow-up. Those with impaired graft function had more graft failures; however, this result was not statistically significant. The high rate of asymptomatic rejection, and the fact that outcomes in asymptomatic patients are poor, is in support of the utility of surveillance biopsies in patients with dnDSA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007518 Isoantibodies Antibodies from an individual that react with ISOANTIGENS of another individual of the same species. Alloantibodies
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
