  • Title: Influence of HLA-A, B, C, and D matching and pretransplant blood transfusions on kidney graft survival.
    Author: Solheim BG, Flatmark A, Halvorsen S, Jervell J, Thorsby E.
    Journal: Transplant Proc; 1979 Mar; 11(1):748-51. PubMed ID: 377707.
    Abstract:
    A significant influence of matching both for the HLA-A and B and the D/DR antigens on graft survival in patients transplanted with kidneys from living related or cadaveric donors is demonstrated. A generally reduced survival of cadaveric grafts during the last few years may at least in part be explained by the use of more three and four antigen-mismatched donors. The beneficial effect of pretransplant blood transfusions on graft survival in our material is almost nulled when uremic patients, dying while waiting for a transplant, are also considered. In addition, significantly more high-risk patients are included in the nontransfused patient group.
