We have demonstrated that immunodominant donor-specific antibody (DSA) more than 100 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) at the time of transplant is associated with a significantly higher risk of rejection. We now present short-term outcomes of DSA-based desensitization (DSZ) strategies in patients with a negative complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch.
