Graft survival and blood transfusion.

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.

HLA-ABC matching and outcome of primary cadaveric kidney transplantations in Gothenburg.

The influence of HLA matching was studied in 319 informative cases of primary cadaveric kidney transplantations performed in Gothenburg 1969--1976. Foreign HLA-B antigens seemed to be of more importance for graft survival than foreign HLA-A or -C antigens. The prognosis for graft survival was significantly improved for match-grades with one foreign HLA-B antigen from the period 1973--1976 compared to those from the period 1969--1972. Match-grades with two foreign HLA-B antigens had significantly reduced graft survival during the period 1973--1976.

Blood transfusion and primary graft survival in male recipients.

The outcome of primary kidney transplantation in 241 male patients was studied with reference to pretransplant blood transfusions. 55 patients received kidneys from living related donors with one shared HLA-haplotype, 186 patients received kidneys from cadaveric donors. The graft survival was calculated after exclusion of graft loss due to non-immunological reasons. The graft survival was found to be significantly higher in transfused recipients, especially in patients receiving kidneys from living related donors.

Clinical experience with antilymphocyte-globulin in cadaveric kidney transplantation.

Two different commercially available anti-lymphocyte-globulin preparations have been used in 30 recipients of primary cadaveric kidneys. No difference in graft survival was found within three years after transplantation compared to 102 primary cadaceric kidney recipients who only received basic immunosuppression. When only patients completing an intended ALG dosage were considered, the one-year graft survival was 65% compared to 52% in patients not receiving ALG. In this series of ALG treated patients no major benefits were found compared to the basic immunosuppressive regimen used at this transplantation centre.
