Angiotensin II type-1 receptor antibody (AT1R-Ab) has been mooted as a potential effector of both acute and chronic antibody mediated rejection (AMR). A growing body of literature on the topic is now coming under scrutiny in the context of the evolving Banff AMR diagnostic classification system and refinement of recommendations for histocompatibility testing by the Sensitization in Transplantation Assessment of Risk (STAR) workgroup. This mini-review discusses the latest understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical evidence for the pathogenicity of AT1R-Ab, and methods of laboratory testing.
血管紧张素 II 型 1 型受体抗体(AT1R-Ab)一直被认为是急性和慢性抗体介导排斥反应(AMR)的潜在效应因子。目前,越来越多的关于该主题的文献正在接受审查,背景是不断发展的 Banff AMR 诊断分类系统和 Sensitization in Transplantation Assessment of Risk(STAR)工作组对组织相容性检测建议的细化。这篇迷你综述讨论了对病理生理机制的最新理解、AT1R-Ab 的致病性的临床证据以及实验室检测方法。
