The etiology of immunologically mediated chronic renal allograft failure is unclear. One cause is thought to be alloantibodies. Previously in Cynomolgus monkeys, we observed a relationship among donor-specific alloantibodies (DSA), C4d staining, allograft glomerulopathy, allograft arteriopathy and progressive renal failure. To define the natural history of chronic antibody-mediated rejection and its effect on renal allograft survival, we now extend this report to include 417 specimens from 143 Cynomolgus monkeys with renal allografts. A subset of animals with long-term renal allografts made DSA (48%), were C4d positive (29%), developed transplant glomerulopathy (TG) (22%) and chronic allograft arteriopathy (CAA) (19%). These four features were highly correlated and associated with statistically significant shortened allograft survival. Acute cellular rejection, either Banff type 1 or 2, did not correlate with alloantibodies, C4d deposition or TG. However, endarteritis (Banff type 2) correlated with later CAA. Sequential analysis identified four progressive stages of chronic antibody-mediated rejection: (1) DSA, (2) deposition of C4d, (3) TG and (4) rising creatinine/ renal failure. These new findings provide strong evidence that chronic antibody-mediated rejection develops without enduring stable accommodation, progresses through four defined clinical pathological stages and shortens renal allograft survival.
