One the major considerations determining is whether not such an individual considered candidate for re-transplantation. Withdrawal re-transplant can result allosensitization and markedly reduce chances repeat transplant. In this review, we summarize effects reduction on HLA sensitization, discuss impacts these patients, explore protocols future directions. Risks chronic immunosuppression, medical management allograft, effect nephrectomy are covered elsewhere issue.
