The use of a potential novel tool in virtual crossmatching for platelet transfusion in platelet refractoriness

摘要

Background and Objectives Transfusion support for immune-mediated platelet refractoriness (PR) is clinically challenging, technically laborious and costly. The development of 'EpHLA/EpVix software' has been used successfully to select kidney donors. Here, we sought to evaluate this new software as a tool for platelet virtual crossmatch (VxM).
