A 24-yr-old man was admitted to our hospital for ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation. His blood type was O, and the donor's (his father's) blood type was B. The recipient had pancytopenia, splenomegaly, splenorenal shunts and esophageal varices due to congenital hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, if splenorectomy was performed, the blood pressure of the portal vein and the growth of esophageal varices were predicted. Eventually, in return for splenectomy, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (rituximab), intravenous immunoglobulin and plasmapheresis was performed for additional immunosuppression. Because of progression of pancytopenia, we had to decrease the dose of mycophenolate mofetil and gave up on using deoxyspagalin. Nevertheless the serum creatinine level decreased and remained in the 1.6 to 1.8 mg/dl range.

D001787 Blood Group Incompatibility An antigenic mismatch between donor and recipient blood. Antibodies present in the recipient's serum may be directed against antigens in the donor product. Such a mismatch may result in a transfusion reaction in which, for example, donor blood is hemolyzed. (From Saunders Dictionary & Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984).

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
