Paired Marrow Aspirations to Assess Assays in Sensitized Renal Allograft Recipients

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The aim of this study is to determine the validity of two tests on bone marrow of sensitized kidney transplant recipients in order to better understand why these patients with antibodies against their donors are at a greater risk of rejection of their transplanted organs.
