Influence of HLA-A, B, C, and D matching and pretransplant blood transfusions on kidney graft survival. 1979

B G Solheim, and A Flatmark, and S Halvorsen, and J Jervell, and E Thorsby

A significant influence of matching both for the HLA-A and B and the D/DR antigens on graft survival in patients transplanted with kidneys from living related or cadaveric donors is demonstrated. A generally reduced survival of cadaveric grafts during the last few years may at least in part be explained by the use of more three and four antigen-mismatched donors. The beneficial effect of pretransplant blood transfusions on graft survival in our material is almost nulled when uremic patients, dying while waiting for a transplant, are also considered. In addition, significantly more high-risk patients are included in the nontransfused patient group.

D006085 Graft Survival The survival of a graft in a host, the factors responsible for the survival and the changes occurring within the graft during growth in the host. Graft Survivals,Survival, Graft,Survivals, Graft
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.

D014184 Transplantation, Homologous Transplantation between individuals of the same species. Usually refers to genetically disparate individuals in contradistinction to isogeneic transplantation for genetically identical individuals.
