Antibody-mediated rejection represents the first cause of graft loss in renal transplant recipients, and it is imperative to identify appropriate tools to enable risk stratification of such patients. Lately, the usefulness of measuring complement-binding anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) in renal transplantation has been intensely debated. While the jury is still out, recent data suggest that monitoring complement-binding DSAs may help to recognize high-risk patients and possibly trigger more effective interventions in selected patients.

Abstract
Antibody-mediated rejection represents the first cause of graft loss in renal transplant recipients, and it is imperative to identify appropriate tools to enable risk stratification of such patients. Lately, the usefulness of measuring complement-binding anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) in renal transplantation has been intensely debated. While the jury is still out, recent data suggest that monitoring complement-binding DSAs may help to recognize high-risk patients and possibly trigger more effective interventions in selected patients.
