title: Graft loss in three patients with donor-specific antibody (DSA).
abstract: 1. All patients had donor-specific antibodies and lost their transplant. 2. Flow PRA did not correlate with the transplant dysfunction. 3. In GT the DSA monitored could be used to monitor the effectiveness of the plasmapheresis. 4. DSA was strongly associated with transplant dysfunction and graft loss.
