Abstract:Background.
Immunological factors play a pivotal role in the outcomes of solid organ transplantation. We aimed to elucidate the effects of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) and ABO compatibility on living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) outcomes.
Methods.
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 584 LDLT recipients from 2015 to 2020. The recipients were stratified into 3 groups: ABO-compatible recipients without DSAs (group 1), ABO-compatible recipie… Show more
