Clinical Study

Posttransplant Allosensitization in Low Immunological Risk Kidney and Kidney-Pancreas Graft Recipients

Figure 2

Graft survival censored for death with a functioning graft according to presence of anti-HLA antibodies against class I, class II, or class I/II at 6 months after transplant. Patients with antibody positivity for class II ( ) (83.3%, log-rank test ) or class I/II ( ) (70%, log-rank test ) showed a significantly lower survival rate at 5 years than antibody-negative patients ( ). Graft survival was similar in antibody-negative patients and those positive only for class I ( ) anti-HLA antibodies (96.4% versus 98% resp., log-rank test ).
