  • Title: Graft survival and blood transfusion.
    Author: Brynger H, Frisk B, Ahlmén J, Attman PO, Blohmé I, Sandberg L, Gelin LE.
    Journal: Proc Eur Dial Transplant Assoc; 1977; 14():290-5. PubMed ID: 341128.
    Abstract:
    The outcome of primary kidney transplantation in 244 patients was studied with reference to pre-transplant blood transfusions. Fifty-eight patients received kidneys from living related donors with one shared HLA-haplotype, 186 patients received kidneys from cadaveric donors. Graft survival was found to be significantly poorer in non-transfused patients, especially in patients receiving kidneys from living related donors. The degree of uraemic intoxication did not seem to influence the outcome.
