Abstract
We report a case of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) of a unilateral donor lung in the presence of newly formed donor-specific antibodies, 10 months after living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT). Of note is that the AMR occurred in the unilateral lung. Furthermore, the lung graft was from her husband and HLA analysis on the recipient's daughter revealed the same donor-specific HLA antigens, which strongly suggested pre-sensitization before lung transplantation. Fortunately, we could perform direct crossmatch even 1 year after lung transplantation because of the living donors.Entities:
