Current status of clinical islet transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:ABO-incompatible (ABOi) and positive crossmatch (XM) renal transplants pose special immunologic challenges. It is important to compare outcomes, study resource utilization, and attempt to risk stratify patients in these higher risk transplant settings. METHODS:We compared apheresis utilization and transplan...
