Status quo of histocompatibility testing and prospects for virtual crossmatching within the Korean kidney allocation system: survey of laboratory directors
Korean HLA laboratory directors broadly support the concept and need for VXM, acknowledging its potential to improve both efficiency and equity for sensitized patients. However, the lack of standardization in HLA testing application and interpretation remains a significant practical challenge. National initiatives and multidisciplinary collaboration are essential before integrating VXM into the Korean KAS.
