Impact on mid-term kidney graft outcomes of pretransplant anti-HLA antibodies detected by solid-phase assays: Do donor-specific antibodies tell the whole story?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The tumour necrosis factor superfamily 4 (TNFSF4) is a candidate gene for autoimmune diseases. We investigated the relationship of this gene with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a Chinese Guangxi population. METHODS:A total of 294 patients with SLE, 210 with RA, and 282 h...
