BACKGROUND: Analyzing HLA polymorphism in lung transplantation (LTx) is important, given its impact on LTx recipient survival and graft function. Accordingly, we conducted a retrospective study to examine the influence of HLA mismatch and donor-specific antibodies (DSA) on short-term outcomes and early-phase post-LTx complications.

METHOD: HLA antigen or eplet mismatch in LTx patients at Tohoku University Hospital from 2018 to 2023 was determined, and DSA was measured on admission for surgery to identify preformed DSA and at weeks 4 to 12 post-LTx for de novo DSA, respectively.

RESULTS: The participants were 45 LTx recipients, HLA-A/B/DR antigen mismatch (5-6 of 6) being identified in 57%, HLA-A/B/Cw/DR/DQ mismatch (8-10 of 10) in 57%, and HLA eplet mismatch (>61) in 46%. The prevalence of preformed DSA was 24%, and persistence (uncleared) was 16%. The incidence of de novo DSA was 16% after LTx. During the study,16 recipients experienced grade 3 primary graft dysfunction (PGD), 8 developed acute rejection, and 5 died. No HLA-related variables were significantly associated with post-LTx mortality and were not risk factors for high-grade PGD or acute rejection.

CONCLUSION: Despite limitations in sample size, resulting in tentative findings, the study serves as a crucial pilot study for an ongoing multicenter prospective trial in Japan.
