Increased Levels of sCD30 Have No Impact on the Incidence of Early ABMR and Long-Term Outcome in Intermediate-Risk Renal Transplant Patients With Preformed DSA
Background: It is still incompletely understood why some patients with preformed donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) have reduced kidney allograft survival secondary to antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), whereas many DSA-positive patients have favorable long-term outcomes. Elevated levels of s...
