[Immunologic donor-recipient matching in living kidney transplantation]
Abstract:
The better results of transplantation in kidneys of relatives in contrast to cadaveric kidneys are above all traced back to a compatibility in the HLA-D-Locus which is more frequently present in relatives and which can be established by a lacking stimulation in the mixed culture of lymphocytes. Therefore, the selection of donor and recipient in transplantations of living kidneys where there is no pressure of time should apart from the serological standardization of lymphocytes should also comprise the mixed culture of lymphocytes lasting 5 to 7 days.
