Successful deceased-donor kidney transplantation in crossmatch-positive patients with peritransplant plasma exchange and Rituximab.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) provide valuable treatments for a range of diseases. However, the therapeutic utility of BMT and DLI is reduced by the high incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) mediated by activated donor T lymphocytes directed against...
