Important of HLA matching in cadaveric renal transplantation. A prospective one-center study. 1981

Matching for the HLA-A and -B antigens was found to have a significant influence on the outcome of 459 cadaveric first transplants, with a difference in graft survival of 21% at one year between best and worst matched grafts (p = 0.003). Matching for the HLA-DR antigens seemed to have an even greater influence. In a material of 226 prospectively typed transplants, a difference in graft survival of 35% at one year between best and worst matched transplants was found (p = 0.03). In the HLA-DR matched transplants there was no significant effect of matching for the HLA-A and -B antigens. An effect of pre-transplant blood transfusions was possibly seen only in DR mismatched transplants, but the effect was not statistically significant. The results indicate that major emphasis should be placed on obtaining HLA-DR compatibility in renal transplantation.

D011446 Prospective Studies Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group. Prospective Study,Studies, Prospective,Study, Prospective
D001803 Blood Transfusion The introduction of whole blood or blood component directly into the blood stream. (Dorland, 27th ed) Blood Transfusions,Transfusion, Blood,Transfusions, Blood
D002102 Cadaver A dead body, usually a human body. Corpse,Cadavers,Corpses
D005802 Genes, MHC Class II Genetic loci in the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex that encode polymorphic products which control the immune response to specific antigens. The genes are found in the HLA-D region in humans and include H-2M, I-A, and I-E loci in mice. Class II Genes,Genes, Class II,Genes, HLA Class II,MHC Class II Genes,Class II Gene,Gene, Class II
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.
