  • Title: [New strategies in living donor kidney transplantation – blood group incompatible and crossover transplantation].
    Author: Dickenmann M.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 2015 Aug; 72(8):525-7. PubMed ID: 26227981.
    Abstract:
    About 40 % of all kidney transplantations in Switzerland are from living donors. The probability of blood group incompatibility between donor and recipient is 30 %. About 10 % of recipients have preexisting HLA antibodies against their potential donors. Both risks impeded transplantation until recently. Nowadays successful protocols for blood group incompatible kidney transplantation and the possibility of crossover transplantation are available and help to overcome these risks.
