Successful use of an enhanced immunosuppressive protocol with plasmapheresis for ABO-incompatible mismatched grafts in liver transplant recipients.

abstract：:Brainstem death is associated with endocrine and metabolic alterations that can result in donor hemodynamic instability. It has been suggested that these changes can be reversed through hormonal manipulation of the donor. We measured thyroid hormone levels (free triiodothyronine [fT3], free tetraiodothyronine [fT4], r...
