Abstract
Desensitization therapy enables HLA-incompatible transplantation. However, desensitized patients have an increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection, and the presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) is associated with poor outcomes. A new study has assessed the effect of rituximab induction on DSA production in kidney transplant recipients with high immunological risk.Entities:
