Özet

Aim. Sensitization to HLA antigens creates an immunologic barrier, linked to an increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection and poorer graft survival, that remains a persistent and often impenetrable deterrent to transplantation. Desensitization can improve transplantation rates in broadly sensitized kidney transplant recipients. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of immunologic high-risk kidney recipients who had desensitization treatment with the outcomes of those who did not.
