Altered Complement and Tubular Mitochondrial Proteins Are Linked to Graft Loss in DSA+ Antibody–Mediated Rejection

Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the main driver of late kidney allograft loss. Anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are strongly associated with AMR. However, 30-60% of DSA + patients do not develop AMR, raising the possibility of local tissue adaptations to...
