Garrett R. Leonard, Hiroko Shike, Tadahiro Uemura, Justine L. Gaspari, Francesca M. Ruggiero, Riaz A. Shah, Thomas R. Riley, Zakiyah Kadry – 24 June 2013 – A positive crossmatch has been associated with increased risk in liver transplantation. To study the clinical significance of preformed donor‐specific human leukocyte antigen antibodies (DSAs) in liver transplantation, we reviewed patients who underwent liver transplantation with a strongly positive flow cytometry crossmatch. DSAs were evaluated with a Luminex solid phase assay.
