Excellent Outcomes with Transplantation of Kidneys (KTx) from Deceased Donors (DDs) with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Background:AKI is common among DDs and results in high discard rates. In contrast, we have consistently used kidneys from DDs with AKI. We studied our…2013 American Transplant Congress
Quantitative Relationship of Luminex Single Antigen Bead Assay (LSA), Antibody Titration and Flow Crossmatch in Heart Transplantation – A Data Analysis of 5 Years Clinical Testing
Clinical Transplantation Immunology Lab, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
Donor selecting avoiding unacceptable HLA antigens (UAs) efficiently facilities heart transplant without performing a final flow crossmatch (FCXM) prior to transplant. Luminex single antigen bead…2013 American Transplant Congress
