First experiences with HLA-matched corneal grafts in high risk cases. 1977

H J Völker-Dieben, and C C Kok-van Alphen, and Oosterhuis, and G van Dorp, and A van Leeuwen

In highly vascularized corneas the number of graft failures caused by irreversible rejections is higher than in non-or slightly vascularized corneas. The importance of antigen compatibility is demonstrated, especially in these 'high risk' cases. Ten highly vascularized corneas were grafted with HLA-matched donor material; only one reversible rejection was seen in this group. Nine non-or slightly vascularized corneas were grafted with donor material chosen a random. Retrospective HLA matching was performed. Three irreversible rejections were seen in this group. The number of HLA incompatibilities was high.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.
