    Achieving a two Human Leukocyte Antigen-DR (HLA-DR) antigen match significantly improves transplant survival rates. This benefit is further enhanced by pretransplant blood transfusions, indicating an additive effect for better transplant outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Transplantation Medicine
    • Clinical Immunology

    Background:

    • Human Leukocyte Antigen-DR (HLA-DR) matching is crucial for organ transplant success.
    • The impact of HLA-DR matching and pretransplant transfusions on graft survival requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of HLA-DR antigen matching on transplant survival.
    • To assess the influence of pretransplant transfusions on transplant outcomes.
    • To determine the combined effect of HLA-DR matching and transfusions on graft survival.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 370 transplants across 11 centers over 4 years.
    • Categorization of patients based on HLA-DR antigen match status (0, 1, or 2 antigens matched).
    • Analysis of patient survival rates in relation to transfusion history (number of units received).

    Main Results:

    • One-year transplant survival was 75% for patients with two HLA-DR matched antigens versus 47% for those with no match (P < 0.0025).
    • Patients receiving five or more pretransplant transfusions had a 69% survival rate compared to 45% for those with fewer than five (P < 0.0005).
    • A combination of two HLA-DR matched antigens and five or more transfusions yielded an 86% survival rate.

    Conclusions:

    • HLA-DR matching significantly impacts transplant success, with two-antigen matches offering superior outcomes.
    • Pretransplant transfusions have an additive beneficial effect on graft survival.
    • Optimizing both HLA-DR matching and transfusion strategies can maximize transplant success rates.
