Hospital Geral de Fortaleza, Fortaleza, Brazil.
Introduction: Kidney transplantation in patients with donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) has been associated with a worse prognosis. The high cost, infectious complications and conflicting results…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant Donor Specific Antibody With Negative Flow-Crossmatch Was Related to Higher Acute Rejection But Not to Poor Graft Survival
Background: DSA have been associated to lower graft survival and a higher humoral rejection rate, but there is a concern about the clinical impact of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Delayed Graft Function By Means of a Web-Based Calculator in Living Related Kidney Transplant: Mexican Single Center Experience
Background: Delayed graft function (DGF) is associated with, poor graft survival. Irish validated a model to predict DGF for deceased donor transplants. The model was…2015 American Transplant Congress
