Background. Prognosis of renal transplants with positive flow cytometric crossmatch (FCXM) remains controversial. Methods. We analyzed the outcome of these kidney transplant recipients by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibodies (HLA-DSA) using single-antigen bead (SAB) assays in major histocompatibility complex classes I and II. We compared them with controls with a negative FCXM. Results. Forty-five patients consecutively transplanted with a positive FCXM had significantly more acute rejection episodes than the control patients (33.3% vs. 8.9%, P = 0.002). Risk of acute rejection was increased with day 0 (D0) positive T-cell FCXM (odds ratio [OR] = 9.04, P = 0.002), D0 positive B-cell FCXM (OR = 7.43, P = 0.02), and D0 HLA-DSA identified by SAB assay (OR = 6.5, P = 0.03). The 21 patients with D0 positive FCXM and D0 HLA-DSA had more acute rejection (62%, P = 0.0001) and a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate 1-year posttransplantation (P = 0.0001), when compared with controls. Mainly anti-Cw and anti-DP HLA-DSA were found in patients displaying acute rejection. The remaining FCXM-positive patients displayed short-term outcomes similar to controls. The presence of HLA-DSA detected only by the SAB assay in the context of a negative FCXM crossmatch was not associated with increased risk of acute rejection. Conclusion. Identification of HLA-DSA in D0 sera by the two sensitive techniques FCXM and SAB assay indicates which patients are at highest risk of subsequent acute allograft rejection and chronic allograft dysfunction.
