Pathologic sequelae of allosensitization in liver transplantation
2016
The long-term impact of allosensitization between ABO compatible donor/recipient pairs in liver transplantation is unclear. Accumulating clinical evidence suggests that donor-specific antibody formation may lead to antibody-mediated rejection and is causally linked to pathologic injury, graft loss, and death. Although this immune-mediated graft dysfunction is increasingly being associated with poor outcomes, the specific pathologic sequelae are not defined. Herein, we examine the relationship between allosensitization, antibody-mediated rejection, and subsequent graft pathology.
