**10. Conclusion**

Despite the evolution of more sensitive molecular-based HLA-typing and the ability to detect DSA, there continues to be an important association between HLA-matching and graft and patient outcomes in kidney transplantation. Nevertheless, the application of molecular-based typing in kidney transplantation is already being mandated by most of the transplant com‐ munity and may provide greater accuracy in the assessment of individual's immunological risk as well as improving transplant outcomes.
