Until recently, living kidney donations between donors and recipients of different blood groups were contraindicated. Since 2004, blood group incompatible kidney transplantations have been performed in Germany. Through the use of the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab and a highly selective immunoadsorption treatment, the recipient's antibodies against the foreign blood group are removed before the transplantation to minimize the risk of an antibody-mediated acute rejection reaction after the transplantation.

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.
