The mean total eGFR slope calculated over the complete follow-up (which reduces the effect of graft loss but does not capture temporal dynamics) showed a clear trend towards accelerated eGFR decline in patients with DSA, but this did not reach statistical significance ( Supplementary Figure 1D ).
Other class I HLA alleles and class II alleles HLA-B*08:01, B*40:02, DRB1*04: 01, DRB1*04: 05, DRB1*14: 01 and DRB1*16: 02 also had a clear trend of greater frequency, while DRB1*15:01 of lower frequency, but did not reach statistical significance after Bonferroni’s correction, probably because of the small sample size.
Similarly, IL-8, a strong chemoattractant and activator of neutrophils also showed a trend down over time, but in this case there was a significant difference between COVID-19 and healthy plasma ( Figures 3G, H ), which aligns to our previous findings and others associating increased IL-8 in the severity of COVID-19 ( 8 ).
