Sensitized Kidney Transplants

What is Sensitization?

Some kidney transplant patients have pre-formed antibodies against potential donors, making it difficult to find a compatible match. This is known as being “sensitized.

Causes of Sensitization:

  • Previous transplants
  • Blood transfusions
  • Pregnancy
