Kidney Transplant With Low Levels of DSA or Low Positive B-Flow Crossmatch: An Underappreciated Option for Highly Sensitized Transplant Candidates.

abstract：:Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)* is a frequent complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The potentially beneficial effect of phototherapy for treatment of cutaneous manifestations of GVHD led us to investigate retrospectively the effect of this therapy in a larger series of patients. Eleven patients wi...
