Blood chimerism has been reported sporadically among visceral transplant recipients,
mostly in association with graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). We hypothesized that a higher
degree of mixed chimerism would be observed in multivisceral (MVTx) than in isolated
intestinal (iITx) and isolated liver transplant (iLTx) recipients, regardless of GVHD. We
performed a longitudinal prospective study investigating multilineage blood chimerism with
flow cytometry in 5 iITx and 4 MVTx recipients up to one year posttransplant. Although only …
