Calculated PRA and PIRCHE Algorithm in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Abstract

Calculated PRA testing in kidney transplantation has revolutionized the field by enabling a more accurate assessment of compatibility and risk prediction for AMR. On the other hand, The PIRCHE algorithm aims to identify the potentially immunogenic human leukocyte antigens (HLA) epitopes on the donor graft that are recognized by the recipient's HLA antibodies.
