Protective anti‐donor IgM production after crossmatch positive liver–kidney transplantation
Abstract
The mechanism by which a liver transplantation might protect a simultaneous kidney transplant in a crossmatch-positive recipient is unknown. Flow cytometry crossmatch (FCXM) has increased the sensitivity of donor-specific antibody (DSA) detection compared with complement-dependant cytotoxicity (CDC). Here we compare the outcome of a liver-kidney transplantation (LKT), which was CDC and FCXM positive, to the mate-isolated kidney transplantation …
