Core Tip Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) are associated with variable immunologic risk, which is not always well defined by DSA class or mean fluorescence intensity alone. In this study, an unsupervised machine learning approach was used to group DSA-positive recipients based on antibody characteristics and transplant-related factors. These groups showed apparent differences in early post-transplant risk profiles. Patients with broader and stronger antibody responses were more likely to experience adverse early outcomes, whereas those with a limited antibody burden had favorable graft function. This approach may help refine risk assessment and support more individualized management of DSA-positive KTR.
