Acute Rejection in 6-Antigen HLA-Matched Kidney Transplant Recipients: Risk Factors and Outcomes from the Wisconsin Allograft Recipient Database (WisARD).

In conclusion, acute cellular and antibody-mediated rejection are infrequent in HLA-matched kidney transplant recipients. Nonadherence appears to be relatively common among those experiencing rejection. Acute rejection was not associated with higher graft loss or death. The pathogenesis of acute rejection in HLA-matched recipients remains to be determined. PMID: 28564531 [PubMed - in process]
