Successful prevention of BK-polyomavirus nephropathy using extracorporeal photopheresis for immunosuppression minimisation following severe BK polyomavirus replication after kidney transplantation in a double lung transplant recipient, a case report [PDF]

BMC Nephrology
Background BK-polyomavirus (BKpyV) nephropathy (BKVN) is associated with end-stage kidney disease in kidney and non-kidney solid organ transplantation, with no curative treatment.

Extracorporeal Photopheresis Reduces Fibrotic and Inflammatory Transcriptomic Biological Marker of Chronic Antibody-mediated Kidney Rejection [PDF]

Transplantation Direct
Background. The benefit of extracorporeal photopheresis on the course of kidney transplant rejection is unknown. The aim of our study was to investigate the variations in transcriptomics on graft biopsies when extracorporeal photopheresis was used to ...

Potential Mechanisms of Photopheresis in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]

, 2006
Immune tolerance describes specific unresponsiveness to antigens. In clinical situations such as graft-versus-host disease it may be useful to capitalize on these pre-existing tolerance mechanisms to treat patients.

Cost-Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Patients With Chronic Graft-vs-Host Disease. [PDF]

J Health Econ Outcomes Res
Background: The mainstay first-line therapy for chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) is corticosteroids; however, for steroid-refractory patients, there is a distinct lack of cost-effective or efficacious treatment.
