Abstract
C1q testing in pretransplant sera with DSA was unable to predict acute antibody-mediated rejection or early graft loss, but the presence of DSA class I compared to DSA only class II did. Despite non-fixing complement in vitro, pretransplant C1q-negative DSA I can mediate rejection and graft loss.
