Relative importance of immune and non-immune causes of platelet refractoriness.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Immune haemolysis in liver transplant (LT) can occur due to autoantibodies and alloantibodies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for immune haemolysis in LT. METHODS:A total of 175 consecutive patients were included. Multiorgan recipients were excluded. Samples, from befo...
