DSA testing ≠ Pregnancy Testing
DSA testing has improved
DSA testing is still imperfect
Denatured antigens
MFI is at best semi-quantitative
Effects of DSA are spectral
3. Liver’s Relative Resistance Ab
Liver is relatively resistant to AMR:
Soluble class I HLA antigens
Kupffer cells clearance
Immune complexes
Activated complement
Size – 100x microvasculature vs. kidney
Regeneration
Decreased clotting
Low Platelets
Coagulopathy
Dual blood supply
Hypocomplementemia
O’Leary JG, et al. AJT 2014
4. Many Faces of DSA in LT
Acute AMR
Acute rejection
Chronic rejection
Plasma cell hepatitis
Biliary strictures
“Idiopathic” fibrosis

Renal AMR in SLKT

5. In the Beginning…
Early reports of LT did not show preformed DSA
increased graft loss/rejection.
Graft failure rates were high
Technology and medications were limited
Gordon RD, et al. Surgery 1986
The Liver Is Different.
6. Early Graft Loss
Takaya S, et al. Transplant Proceedings 1991;
Ogura K., et al. Transplant Proceedings 1992;
Ogura K, et al. Clin Transplantation 1994;
Retrospective evaluations since the early 90s have
shown graft failure in pts w/ + crossmatch.

primary liver allograft failure” w/ + crossmatch.

9. Hyperacute Rejection?
3 cases of SLKT.
Hyperacute rejection of the kidney
Precipitous liver allograft loss
Kindey = “canary” heralding liver AMR
Histology = diffuse coagulative necrosis with
IgM and C1q + staining = hyperacute rejection
10. “Rejection”
Manez R, et al. Hepatology 1995
Manez R, et al. Transplant Proceedings 1993
Rejection leading to early graft loss:
High-titer anti-donor IgG antibodies
Crossmatch remained +
Falling complement
Increased CIC
Refractory thrombocytopenia
Pathology = “Rejection”
11. Graft Loss from DSA
197 transplants over 3 years 10% crossmatch +.
15/19 had repeat - crossmatch 2 weeks post-LT.
3 pts “AMR” (DSA, allograft dysfunction, C4d)
3-7 distinct HLA DSA
MFI 4,982-14,174
Outcome:
2 died (40 and 116 days)
One re-transplanted--13 months
Kozlowski T, et al. LT 2011:17; 357
Many preformed DSA “resolve”
Those that do not may lead to devastating AMR
12. 1-Year Graft Loss & Rejection?
Castillo-Rama M, et al. Liver Transplantation 2008
896 LT for preformed HLA Ab:
rejection in patients with Class II +/- I DSA.

17. IgG subclass DSA?
Does IgG subclass matter?
Multiple IgG subclasses more common in pts w/ graft dysfunction.
IgG3 is present in pts w/ most rapid graft failure.

42. Conclusions
3 main reasons why DSA has been under-
appreciated in LT:
DSA is not dichotomous.
Liver is relatively resistant to AMR.
Many faces of DSA in LT.
Acute AMR occurs in LT but is rare.
Highest risk = Class I DSA MFI >15,000 at 1:27
dilution.
Preformed and de novo DSA can impair graft
outcomes.
