Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in kidney transplantation is a major cause of late graft loss, and despite all efforts to date the "standard of care" remains plasmapheresis, IVIg, and steroids, which itself is based on low quality evidence. This review focuses on the risk factors leading to memory and de novo donor-specific antibody (DSA)-associated ABMR, the optimal prevention strategies for ABMR, and advances in adjunctive and emerging therapies for ABMR. Because new agents require regulatory approval via a Phase 3 randomized control trial (RCT), an overview of progress in innovative trial design for ABMR is provided. Finally, based on the insights gained in the biology of ABMR, current knowledge gaps are identified for future research that could significantly affect our understanding of how to optimally treat ABMR.
