    Abstract Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with ESRD as it is associated with improved patient survival and better quality of life, especially in children. There are several barriers to a successful transplant including organ shortage, anatomic barriers, and immunologic barriers. One of the biggest immunologic barriers that precludes transplantation is sensitization, when patients have antibodies prior to transplantation, resulting in positive crossmatches with donor. 30%-40% of adult patients on the wait list are sensitized. There is a growing number of pediatric patients on the wait list who are sensitized. This poses a unique challenge to the pediatric transplant community. Therefore, attempts to perform desensitization to remove or suppress pathogenic HLA antibodies resulting in acceptable crossmatches, and ultimately a successful transplant, while reducing the risk of acute rejection, are much needed in these children. This review article aims to address the management of such patients both prior to transplantation, with strategies to overcome sensitization, and after transplantation with monitoring for allograft rejection and other complications.

    Abstract Background: The presence of anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) is associated with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and inferior graft survival. However, recent data suggest that ~50% of AMR episodes are IgG DSA negative and possibly related to non-HLA DSAs. After the initial activation of B cells to alloantigen, IgM is the first immunoglobulin produced. In addition, both IgM and IgG isotopes can activate the classic complement pathway and induce complement-dependent cytotoxicity to allograft targets. Current practices focus on the assessment of IgG DSAs with little concern for the assessment of IgM DSAs.
    Methods: Here, we examined anti-HLA IgM in a cohort of 22 patients who developed de novo IgG DSAs by a modified single-antigen bead-based test.
    Results: We found IgM HLA DSAs developed before IgG DSAs. The median time from the detection of IgM DSAs to the appearance of de novo IgG DSAs was 461 d. Most patients had IgM DSAs against the same HLA-DQ antigens, for which IgG de novo DSAs were also later detected. IgM DSAs were detected in patients with biopsies suspected of AMR.
    Conclusions: The detection of IgM DSAs could be an early indicator of alloimmune responses to allografts before IgG de novo DSAs appear.

    Abstract Bu et al. report that elevated donor-derived cell-free DNA detected on serial measurements performed for both surveillance and assessment of kidney allograft dysfunction was associated with rejection, future de novo donor-specific antibodies, and decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. Their data suggest that donor-derived cell-free DNA may be a useful indicator of kidney allograft health. In this commentary, we discuss the expanding role of donor-derived cell-free DNA for allograft surveillance and highlight potential limitations.

    Abstract Purpose of review: We aim to discuss current literature on novel therapies for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in kidney transplantation with a focus on chronic AMR.
    Recent findings: IL-6/IL-6 receptor blockers appear promising in the treatment of chronic AMR. Blocking this pathway was shown to reduce human leucocyte antigen-antibodies, improve histologic inflammation and increase T-regulatory cells. Based on experience in desensitization, IgG degrading endopeptidase, imlifidase, could be effective in AMR. There have been case reports describing the successful use of plasma cell/natural killer-cell-directed anti-CD38 antibody in the treatment of AMR. Off-target effects have been noted and strategies to mitigate these will be needed when using these agents. Complement inhibitors could be an effective add-on strategy to antibody-depleting therapies but their role in AMR needs to be better defined. Combining proteasome inhibitors and costimulation blockers has shown encouraging results in the prevention of AMR in animal models and is now being investigated in humans. Other novel strategies such as Fc neonatal receptor blockers which inhibit the recycling of pathogenic IgG and bispecific antibodies against B-cell maturation antigen/CD3+ T cells warrant further investigation.
    Summary: There are now a number of emerging therapies with varied targets and mechanism(s) of action that hold promise in the management of AMR and improving allograft survival.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sensitization is a major barrier to kidney transplantation induced by exposure to alloantigens through pregnancy, blood product exposure and previous transplantations. Desensitization strategies are undertaken to improve the chances of finding compatible organ offers. Standard approaches to desensitization include the use of plasmapheresis/low dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or high dose IVIG plus anti-CD20. However, current methods to reduce HLA antibodies are not always successful, especially in those with calculated panel reactive antibody 99-100%.
    Recent findings: Newer desensitization strategies such as imlifidase [immunoglobulin G (IgG) endopeptidase] rapidly inactivates IgG molecules and creates an "antibody-free zone", representing an important advancement in desensitization. However, pathogenic antibodies rebound, increasing allograft injury that is not addressed by imlifidase. Here, use of anti-IL-6R (tocilizumab) or anti-interleukin-6 (clazakizumab) could offer long-term control of B-memory and plasma cell DSA responses to limit graft injury. Agents aimed at long-lived plasma cells (anti-CD38 and anti-BCMAxCD3) could reduce or eliminate HLA-producing plasma cells from marrow niches. Other agents such as complement inhibitors and novel agents inhibiting the Fc neonatal receptor (FcRn) mediated IgG recycling will likely find important roles in desensitization.
    Summary: Use of these agents alone or in combination will likely improve the efficacy and durability of desensitization therapies, improving access to kidney transplantation for immunologically disadvantaged patients.
