    Abstract:
    Typing for HLA-DR has been performed in cadaver renal transplantations in Stockholm since 1977, but there was no donor-recipient selection based on HLA-DR. During the period 1977-78 76 cadaver renal transplantations were carried out; in 61 of them typing for HLA-DR was performed. There were 4 exclusions, 2 because of a hyperacute rejection of the graft and 2 because the kidney never started to function after the operation owing to irreversible ischemic damage. In 29 of the 57 transplantations remaining for analysis there was one antigen common to the donor and the recipients, and in 28 there was no common antigen; there was no instance of 2 common antigens. The distribution by degree of HLA-A, -B match was the same for the two groups. Graft survival after one year was better for the group with one common HLA-DR antigen, but the difference was not statistically significant.
