PG - 101744 LID - S0966-3274(22)00218-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.trim.2022.101744 [doi] AB - It has been suggested that the liver allograft can protect the kidney allograft from antibody mediated rejection in simultaneous liver/kidney transplant (SLK) recipients by reducing preexisting donor specific antibodies (DSA) via adsorption of DSA by the liver allograft. Recently, the SLK allocation system was altered to provide a kidney safety net to those who do not recover native kidney function after liver transplant. However, the kidney transplant under the safety net creates a theoretical challenge for sensitized patients as the liver graft may not be able to adsorb human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies against the kidney under the safety net because the liver and kidney grafts are from different donors and may carry different HLA antigens. This prompts us to examine levels of non-donor specific HLA antibodies in SLK recipients in our hospital. We found that levels of both DSA and non-DSA decreased post SLK transplant. The presence of preexisting DSA was also not associated with kidney graft survival and antibody mediated rejection in SLK recipients. Our results indicate that the liver transplant can reduce non-DSA, which may increase the pool of compatible kidneys offered under the safety net program for sensitized patients.
