Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on kidney transplantation in highly sensitized patients using organs from HLA incompatible (HLAi) donors at King Fahad Specialist Hospital in Saudi Arabia from September 2008 to August 2013.
- Out of 213 kidney recipients, 30 received kidneys from HLAi donors, with follow-up showing an acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) rate of 16.7% in the HLAi group compared to 2.6% in HLA compatible (HLAc) recipients.
- The researchers suggest that the higher AMR incidence in the HLAi group may be due to donor-specific antibodies, but note that further long-term studies are needed to confirm and understand the implications of their findings
