Abstract
Background: While ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOiKT) has demonstrated favorable short-term outcomes, data on its long-term effects remain limited. This study evaluated the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of ABOiKT across various ABO-incompatible donor-recipient combinations.
Methods: We included patients who underwent ABOiKT at our institution in 2007-2024. The outcomes assessed included 15-year data on graft, patient survival, and early AMR rates.
Results: Of 239 ABOiKT cases, AMR occurred in 9.2% and was linked to longer hospitalization and higher graft failure. AMR was most frequent in B-O (20.3%) and A1-O (13.3%) transplants but no cases of AMR were observed in the recipients of kidneys from A2 donors. B to O mismatch significantly increased the risk of AMR-related graft loss. Patient survival was 99.1% at 1 year and 86.2% at 15 years and Graft survival was 92.7% and 87.5% respectively.
Conclusions: Our study showed favorable outcomes of ABOiKT across different mismatch types. As the largest ABOiKT study in the Middle East with extended follow-up, our study provides important regional insights and contribute significantly to the global understanding of ABOiKT outcomes.
