Rabbit Anti-Human Thymocyte Immunoglobulin (rATG) for Rescue Treatment of Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection (cAMR) After Pediatric Kidney Transplantation.
Pediatric Nephrology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
Background. Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) is the leading cause of long-term graft loss after kidney transplantation. Treatment guidelines include rituximab, immunoadsorption, immunoglobulins and/or bortezomib, but…2017 American Transplant Congress
