Popis: Mixed acute rejection is a clinicopathological entity that is difficult to accurately diagnose, and so may be under-reported. Allografts are lost more often than in either humoral or cellular rejection. The diagnosis requires both histological and immunological studies on renal biopsy and blood specimens from the transplant recipient to provide the required rescue therapy to abolish the allogeneic response against the graft. We present a clinical case report of an active mixed acute rejection driven by a de novo donor-specific complement-binding anti-DQB1*03:01 antibody and intraepithelial CD8 T-cells in a patient with a kidney transplant. The patient was diagnosed, treated, and followed up as per the local institution’s procedure with a full recovery of graft function. Our case emphasises the challenge of a mixed acute rejection and supports the need to improve the post-transplant outcome of recipients and their grafts.
