BACKGROUND: De novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) may cause antibody-mediated rejection and graft dysfunction. Little is known about the clinical course after first detection of dnDSA during screening in asymptomatic patients. We aimed to assess the value of estimated glomerular filtration rate-eGFR and proteinuria to predict graft failure in patients with dnDSA and their potential utility as surrogate endpoints. METHODS: All 400 kidney transplant recipients with dnDSA at our center (01/03/2000-31/05/2021) were included in this retrospective study...
