The limiting factor in organ transplantation is the availability of organs. Continuing work to improve the public's willingness to donate organs and inspire hospital staff to collaborate in organ procurement is essential. Identification of patients who will not benefit from transplantation can also increase the availability of organs. Grafts may also be saved by identification and appropriate treatment of recurrent renal disease. Xenotransplantation may eventually solve the problem, but major obstacles remain. Meanwhile, work in this field may help to clarify mechanisms of rejection. New immunosuppressive drugs may improve graft survival and reduce the incidence and progression of chronic rejection.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D009927 Tissue and Organ Procurement The administrative procedures involved with acquiring TISSUES or organs for TRANSPLANTATION through various programs, systems, or organizations. These procedures include obtaining consent from TISSUE DONORS and arranging for transportation of donated tissues and organs, after TISSUE HARVESTING, to HOSPITALS for processing and 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. 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.
