| Abstract: |
Background. Re‐transplanted kidney allograft recipients with high levels of panel reactive antibodies (PRA) are at increased risk of early immunologic graft loss. In these patients, prophylactic peri‐operative antibody depletion by immunoadsorption (IA) could prevent humoral graft injury and thus, in combination with anti‐cellular rejection therapy, improve graft survival.
