Immunological biomarkers and long term graft survival. Prospective follow-up of 457 kidney transplant recipients.

CONCLUSIONS    Anti-HLA but not anti-MICA antibodies in randomly obtained blood samples were the significant predictor of late kidney graft failure and could be a low-cost method enabling identification of patients requiring special post-transplant approach. The results of our study provide the additional justification to investigate the immune biomarkers in certain diseases. PMID: 28220766 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
