Low Incidence of Acute Antibody-Mediated Rejection after HLA Desensitization in Living Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a fine manuscript, but it is disappointing not to have in the first paragraphs a simple, layman's terms, definition of what Desensitization is and what is its purpose (though the authors late define "effective desensitization" which is a related but separate term). So please provide a simple straightforward definition for Desensitization. Similarly in the introduction define, in very simple terms, what is meant by acute rejection. Any non-specialized reader sent to Google search these terms is a reader lost unnecessarily. Everything else looks fine
Minor point: in line 53 "...Hospital, Spain, has performed..." - delete the "has"
