Human Renal Homotransplantation in the Presence of Blood Group Incompatibilities

Three cases of clinical renal transplantation have been performed, using donor organs of different blood type than that in the recipient patient. Graft function occurred in all 3 cases, being most retarded in the kidney subjected to the longest ischemia. The kidneys provided by living donors have essentially normal function 9 and 5 weeks after transplantation. © 1963, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved
