Higher Risk of Kidney Graft Failure in the Presence of Anti‐Angiotensin II Type‐1 Receptor Antibodies

Reports have associated non‐HLA antibodies, specifically those against angiotensin II type‐1 receptor (AT1R), with antibody‐mediated kidney graft rejection. However, association of anti‐AT1R with graft failure had not been demonstrated. We tested anti‐AT1R and donor‐specific HLA antibodies (DSA) in...

Zusammenfassung:Reports have associated non‐HLA antibodies, specifically those against angiotensin II type‐1 receptor (AT1R), with antibody‐mediated kidney graft rejection. However, association of anti‐AT1R with graft failure had not been demonstrated. We tested anti‐AT1R and donor‐specific HLA antibodies (DSA) in pre‐ and posttransplant sera from 351 consecutive kidney recipients: 134 with biopsy‐proven rejection and/or lesions (abnormal biopsy group [ABG]) and 217 control group (CG) patients. The ABG's rate of anti‐AT1R was significantly higher than the CG's (18% vs. 6%, p
