Journal ArticleDOI
Analyses of the short- and long-term graft survival after kidney transplantation in Europe between 1986 and 2015
Maarten Coemans,Caner Süsal,Bernd Döhler,Dany Anglicheau,Magali Giral,Oriol Bestard,Christophe Legendre,Marie-Paule Emonds,Dirk Kuypers,Geert Molenberghs,Geert Verbeke,Maarten Naesens +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that short-term improvement in graft survival decreased since 2000, while long- term improvement remained unchanged in Europe, illustrating an unmet need for innovation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histological picture of antibody-mediated rejection without donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies: Clinical presentation and implications for outcome.
Aleksandar Senev,Maarten Coemans,Evelyne Lerut,Vicky Van Sandt,Liesbeth Daniels,Dirk Kuypers,Ben Sprangers,Marie-Paule Emonds,Maarten Naesens +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that biopsies with ABMRh but without detectable HLA‐DSA represent a distinct, often transient phenotype with superior allograft survival and not contribute to the prognosis of graft function and graft failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eplet Mismatch Load and De Novo Occurrence of Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies, Rejection, and Graft Failure after Kidney Transplantation: An Observational Cohort Study.
Aleksandar Senev,Maarten Coemans,Evelyne Lerut,Vicky Van Sandt,Johan Kerkhofs,Liesbeth Daniels,Marleen Vanden Driessche,Veerle Compernolle,Ben Sprangers,Elisabet Van Loon,Jasper Callemeyn,Frans H.J. Claas,Anat R. Tambur,Geert Verbeke,Dirk Kuypers,Marie-Paule Emonds,Maarten Naesens +16 more
TL;DR: Eplet mismatches in HLA-DQ confer substantial risk for de novo DSA formation, graft rejection, and graft failure after kidney transplantation and are suggested to be used to guide personalized post-transplant immunosuppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specificity, strength, and evolution of pretransplant donor-specific HLA antibodies determine outcome after kidney transplantation
Aleksandar Senev,Evelyne Lerut,Vicky Van Sandt,Maarten Coemans,Jasper Callemeyn,Ben Sprangers,Dirk Kuypers,Marie-Paule Emonds,Maarten Naesens +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that persistence of preDSA posttransplant has a negative impact on graft survival, beyond ABMRh.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of a peripheral blood mRNA assay for the assessment of antibody-mediated kidney allograft rejection: A multicentre, prospective study
Elisabet Van Loon,Stéphane Gazut,Saleh Yazdani,Evelyne Lerut,Henriette de Loor,Maarten Coemans,Laure-Hélène Noël,Lieven Thorrez,Leentje Van Lommel,Frans Schuit,Ben Sprangers,Dirk Kuypers,Marie Essig,Wilfried Gwinner,Dany Anglicheau,Pierre Marquet,Maarten Naesens +16 more
TL;DR: A novel 8-gene expression assay can be used for non-invasive diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection and was retained both at time of stable graft function and of graft dysfunction, within the first year and also later after transplantation.
