Patients: 113

Highlights:

  • Retrospective application of high-resolution incompatibility scoring to gauge the performance of EMMA, HLAMatchmaker and PIRCHE-II in predicting dn DSA formation in simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) recipients.

  • Statistically significant factors associated with dn DSA development are found for PIRCHE II and HLA Matchmaker.

  • The report demonstrates that an increased incompatibility score predicts dn DSA development and worse renal and pancreas graft outcomes with dnDSA development.
