Table 1.
Timing | Donor specific antibody | Histology | Clinical presentation | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hyperactive rejection (hours post-transplant) | Preexisting | Diffuse inflammation, necrosis, and thrombotic microangiopathy | Abrupt graft loss | |
Early active (<30 days post-transplant) | Preexisting (or patient is Non immunologically naïve with history of sensitizing events including pregnancy, transplant, or blood transfusion) | Can have similar histologic features depending on time of detection |
Banff active ABMR
C4d positivity and thrombotic microangiopathy usually present. Banff cg = 0 |
Abrupt allograft dysfunction correlating with increased DSA quantity usually 7–14 days post-transplant |
Late (>30 days post-transplant) | Preexisting | Banff active or chronic active ABMR (continuum) +/− C4d positivity |
+/− allograft dysfunction and proteinuria
Can occur in patients with or without Early active (<30 days post-transplant active ABMR) |
|
De novo (MOST COMMON) |
Banff active or chronic active ABMR (continuum) +/− C4d positivity
Concomitant TCMR often present with de novo DSA |
+/− allograft dysfunction and proteinuria |
