Cadaveric graft survival, clinical course, blood transfusion, HLA (A and B) match, and DR match in adult patients transplanted in one centre.

The influence of blood transfusions, HLA, A and B, DR matching was studied in adult patients transplanted in one centre. The conclusions were: 1. Pre-transplant blood transfusion(s) are a prerequisite for graft acceptance. 2. In transfused patients with no HLA A and B mismatch, there is only 8% graft loss due to irreversible rejection. 3. In transfused patients with a functioning graft after six months, a decrease in the number of reversible rejection crises is observed in patients with no HLA A and B mismatch or with identity for HLA B7 or HLA B8. 4. Identity for HLA B7 or B8 also gives a higher chance of a late onset of the first rejection crisis.

Matching for HLA antigens of A, B, and DR loci in renal transplantation by Eurotransplant.

79 patients and their respective cadaveric kidney donors were typed for HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DR antigens using frozen stored spleen lymphocytes and fresh peripheral-blood lymphocytes. The kidney-graft survival-rate at 3 to 18 months was highest when donor and recipient shared one or two DR antigens and three or four A and B antigens. The graft-survival rate was significantly higher (87 +/- 6%) at 18 months in these patients than in less well matched patients (48 +/- 9%).
