    Abstract:
    The frequency of the development of rejection crises in the early postoperative period in 32 recipients of allogeneic kidneys from alive related donors was analysed depending on the histocompatibility according to the antigens of the HLA-AB system and the nature of the immunosuppressant therapy. The results of the analysis showed that the frequency of rejection crises was 100% when the donor and recipient were compatible in 1-2 antigens, and 40% in compatibility according to 3-4 antigens. The incidence of rejection crises was 71.4% among patients who received the standard immunosuppressant therapy (corticosteroids + azathioprine) and 36% among those given also sandimmune. Analysis of the frequency of rejection crises according to the ABO blood group system to which the donor-recipient pair occurred, showed that rejection crises occurred most frequently among patients with A (II) blood group.
