...) Introduction: Double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) may be used for immunomodulation in kidney transplant (KTx). While DFPP reduces plasma product exposure, risk of circuit clotting merits adequate anticoagulation. Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) avoids the risks of systemic anticoagulation...

... antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) after kidney transplantation. The addition of membrane filtration (MF) to enhance elimination of macromolecular components that potentially contribute to rejection, such as key complement component C1q and alloreactive IgM, may be an effective strategy to further improve...

... on kidney transplants and may lead to premature allograft loss. There are no guidelines for treating FSGS recurrence on allografts; treatment is based on apheresis (plasma exchange plasmapheresis [PP], semi-specific immunoadsorption [IA] with reusable columns) plus rituximab. Objective: We aimed to assess...
