Introduction

HLA-incompatible (HLAi) and ABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation (KT) has been on the increase over the last decade. However, there are wide variations in outcomes from these procedures. In this study we evaluated the graft and patient outcomes in incompatible KT and non-sensitized KT.

Methods

Patients who underwent KT between January 2012 and April 2018 were enrolled and reviewed. We divided kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) into five groups as follows: HLAi (n = 50); ABOi (n = 65); HLAi+ABOi (n = 5); control (n = 428); and living-donor control (LD control, n = 218). We compared the risk of rejection, graft function, graft survival, and patient survival between incompatible KTRs and control/LD control KTRs.

Results

Although the incidence of active antibody-mediated rejection in HLAi group tends to be higher than in control and LD control groups (6.0% vs. 2.8%, P = 0.20; 6.0% vs. 3.7%, P = 0.44, respectively), the rejection-free survival, graft survival, and patient survival were not significantly different from those of the control and LD control groups in all three incompatible KT groups (all P>0.05). Graft function during the study period was also not different between incompatible KTRs and control/LD control groups (both P>0.05). Using Cox regression analysis, neither HLAi nor ABOi were risk factors for graft failure. Some infectious diseases such as urinary tract infection and cytomegalovirus infection were more common in the HLAi group than in the control/LD control group (both P<0.05), but only one infection-related death occurred in HLAi KTRs. Infection risks were similar in the ABOi and HLAi+ABOi groups compared to controls.

Conclusion

Our results showed favorable outcomes for incompatible KT after desensitization. Although desensitization therapy for incompatible KT has improved access to transplantation for KT candidates with high immunological risk, more clinical data are clearly needed.
