Combination of Total Lymphoid Irradiation, Low-Dose IVIG and ATG as Rescue Therapy for Highly Sensitized and Antibody-Mediated Rejection Renal Transplant Recipients.

CONCLUSIONS: Combined therapy of TLI, PP, low-dose IVIG, and ATG is an effective therapeutic measure to reduce the level of HLA antibodies and therefore to desensitize recipients pre-transplant and to reverse AMR post transplant. The potential mechanism of the therapy involves inhibition of B cell proliferation. PMID: 26281148 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
