Core Tip Antibody-mediated rejection remains a leading cause of kidney graft dysfunction and failure. While donor-specific antibodies are a key risk factor, not all are pathogenic. Current diagnostic markers lack sensitivity and often miss subclinical changes, with definitive diagnosis still relying on invasive biopsy. The clinical adoption of noninvasive biomarkers continues to face significant hurdles. Despite advances in understanding antibody-mediated rejection biology, no standardized or approved treatment currently exists. Present guidelines are largely based on earlier consensus, although emerging therapies such as CD38 antibodies and complement inhibitors show promise, particularly in early or severe cases.
