ABO-incompatible living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) requires a reduction of the anti-ABO antibody titer to <16 before transplantation, which is usually achieved by pre-operative plasma exchange (PE) or double-filtration plasmapheresis. ABO-incompatible transplantations have been performed after a splenectomy with heavy drug immunosupression plus B-cell-specific drugs. Here, we evaluated a pre-transplantation infusion protocol with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (rituximab) for ABO-incompatible LDLT.
