Abstract: Andalusian Group for Highly Sensitized Patients. Background Organ-exchange strategies based on virtual crossmatch (V-XM) can improve kidney transplantation in very highly-sensitized (HS) patients. Methods Andalusia started a V-XM protocol for very-HS patients in june, 2012… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ajt.15486
Abstract: Whereas regular allocation avoids unacceptable mismatches on the donor organ, allocation to highly sensitized patients within the Eurotransplant Acceptable Mismatch (AM) program is based on the patient's HLA phenotype plus acceptable antigens. These are HLA… read more here.
