Independent of the initial cause of kidney disease, microvascular injury to the peritubular capillary network appears to play a central role in the development of interstitial fibrosis in both native and transplanted kidney disease. This association is explained by mechanisms such as the upregulation of profibrotic genes and epigenetic changes induced by hypoxia, capillary leakage, endothelial and pericyte transition to interstitial fibroblasts, as well as modifications in the secretome of endothelial cells. Alloimmune injury due to antibody-mediated rejection and ischemia-reperfusion injury are the two main etiologies of microvascular damage in kidney transplant recipients. The presence of circulating donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies, histological findings, such as diffuse C4d staining in peritubular capillaries, and the extent and severity of peritubular capillaritis, are commonly used clinically to provide both diagnostic and prognostic information. Complement-dependent assays, circulating non-HLA antibodies, or evaluation of the microvasculature with novel imaging techniques are the subject of ongoing studies.

Patients with previous sensitization events against anti-human leukocyte antigens (HLA) often have circulating anti-HLA antibodies. Following organ transplantation, sensitized patients have higher rates of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) compared to those who are non-sensitized. More stringent donor matching is required for these patients, which results in a reduced donor pool and increased time on the waitlist. Current approaches for sensitized patients focus on reducing preformed antibodies that preclude transplantation; however, this type of desensitization does not modulate the primed immune response in sensitized patients. Thus, an optimized maintenance immunosuppressive regimen is necessary for highly sensitized patients, which may be distinct from non-sensitized patients. In this review, we will discuss the currently available therapeutic options for induction, maintenance, and adjuvant immunosuppression for sensitized patients.
