| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The occurrence of anti-HLA antibodies plays a well established role in solid organ rejection. The development of x-MAP multiple bead technology (Luminex) has enabled more accurate detection and definition of these alloantibodies. METHODS: In 267 kidney transplant patients with stable allograft function for ≥3 years, we analyzed the presence of anti-HLA antibodies by Luminex technology. These patients had no alloantibodies before transplantation, and the immunosuppression treatment was: tacrolimus, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone, everolimus, and/or sirolimus. RESULTS: Fifteen of the 267 patients showed anti-HLA class I antibodies and 12 showed anti-HLA class II antibodies, Seven patients had donor-specific antibodies (DSA): 1 anti-HLA class I, 5 anti-HLA class II, and 1 with both classes. No differences were found between DSA and the use or not of any specific therapy. However, in the retrospective review, we found a higher incidence of acute rejection episodes in the immediate posttransplant period among patients who developed class II DSA than those without DSA. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of patients with normal renal function who develop DSA beyond 3 years after transplantation was relatively low. Steroid or withdrawal replacement of calcineurin inhibitors with inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin seem to not be risk factors to increase the development of DSA. The finding that patients who developed DSA showed a higher rate of previous acute rejection episodes suggested that they should be monitored more frequently for HLA antibodies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
