Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We previously reported the correlation between the existence of donor specific anti- human leukocyte antigen antibodies (DSA) and progressive fibrosis in late liver graft after pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) (>5years). The frequency of DSA was 48%. In this study, we analyzed the frequency of de-novo DSA occurrence and their impact on clinical outcome in early liver graft (<3 years). 38.6% of the recipients showed de-novo DSA at the time of liver biopsy. DSA were mainly against HLA Class II. The pathological findings of de-novo DSA-positive recipients are as follows; 45.5% of DSA+ recipients showed Acute and chornic rejection. 25% of DSA- patients showed ACR. (p=0.088) The following factors have emerged as risk factors of positive DSA; high donor age, past history of ACR, reduction of immunosuppression due to infection.
