Follow up of C4d positive biopsies and the
development of TX-Glomerulopathy
• Significant more often associated with Transplant
Glomerulopathy (53% vs. 14%)
• Significant more often associated with Transplant
Capillaropathy (71% vs. 13%)
• Significantly associated with progression of Transplant
Glomerulopathy in follow-up biopsy (82% vs. 27%,

Summary
• Donor-specific antibody acting on the allograft is associated
with endothelial cell and local complement activation [ in
most cases]
• DSA acting on the allograft is associated with
microcirculation inflammation as the morphological correlate
[notion: the antigen is expressed in the microcirculation]
• DSA acting on the allograft is associated with increased
expression of inflammation (T cells, macrophages, ginterferon), endothelial, and NK cell associated transcripts
as the molecular correlate

Objective
• To review the current knowledge of
mechanisms, diagnostics and clinical
management of patients with antibodymediated rejection.
• Since the vast majority of experience in this
area has been accumulated in renal transplant
patients, this group of patients will be the main
focus of the presentation, but relevant lessons
applicable to other types of organ transplants
will be discussed as well.
Intragraft gene expression in positive crossmatch
kidney allografts
Class – Comparisons:
• A and B: no significant
differences in gene expression
• C and D: over-expression of
inflammatory transcripts (T
cells, macrophages, ginterferon) in XM+ biopsies
