Figure 2 Graft survival in donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibody (DSA)-positive, cross-reactive epitope group antibody (CREG)-alone-positive, and double-negative liver transplant recipients (IBM, SPSS statistics, ver. 28.0.1.0). The 1-year graft survival rate is 100% in both DSA-positive and CREG-alone-positive cases, and 87.5% in double-negative cases (p=0.289). DSA, donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibody; CREG, cross-reactive epitope group; LTx, liver transplantation.
