Hyperimmunization is the presence of a larger-than-normal number of antibodies to a specific antigen. This creates a state of immunity greater than normal. Immune system overactivity can cause many different diseases.
Anti-HLA hyperimmunization is an increase in anti-HLA antigens mostly seen in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients that have undergone hemodialysis and polytransfusion.
