Longer-term outcomes remain a challenge in kidney transplantation
ANZDATA 31st annual report 2008 (http://www.anzdata.org.au/anzdata/AnzdataReport/31stReport/Ch08Txpart2.pdf)
Primary graft survival of deceased donors by year of transplant to 31/12/07: Australia and NZ
Genetic barriers to transplantation
Antibodies in transplantation
• Hemaglutinins (ABO): natural
• HLA
• MIC-A, MIC-B, KIR.
• ANTIENDOTHELIUM: XM-ONE
• Abs against ATII receptor: malignant HTN
• ANTIVIMENTINE & other antibodies
Immunobiology of Tx
ØThe blood group antigens are represented on the vascular endothelium and represent an important barrier for transplantation
ØThe Rhesus factor is not relevant to the process of graft rejection
ØYet Rh identity was significantly related to better graft outcome of 5% after 5 years

Polymorphic HLA specificities and their inheritance
HLA matching
• Initial CTS analysis and Eurotransplant data showed that the major impact comes from the DR and B antigens, with little additional effect from the A antigens

HLA matching
• "taboo" mismatches were specific HLA mismatch combinations are associated with decreased renal allograft survival
• avoidance of mismatches is used in preference to matching of HLA

Detection of HLA antibodies
• Class-I HLA antigens are present on T cells (+) & B cells (++)
• Class-II HLA antigens are present on B cells only
• T cell –ve / B cell +ve cross match represents class-II Abs (of less significance) as well as low titres of class-I Abs
• T cell +ve / B cell –ve cross match is indicative of non HLA Abs

Allospecific matching is the Key stone of ensuring graft survival
Immunosuppression and Adherence is the corner stone of maintaining graft survival
