ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation can be successfully conducted by monitoring IgM isoagglutinin titers during desensitization.
CONCLUSION: Patients with high pre-KT IgG isoagglutinin titers had equally successful outcomes as those with low IgG titers. ABO-i KT can be successfully performed by reducing the pre-KT IgM isoagglutinin titer to 4 or less, as determined by the immediate spin tube method.
