Clinical importance of extended second field high-resolution HLA genotyping for kidney transplantation.

from PubMed

Clinical importance of extended second field high-resolution HLA genotyping for kidney transplantation. PubMed The need for extended second field high-resolution (2F-HR) HLA genotyping in kidney transplantation is debated. In a cohort of 1000 kidney transplants, we evaluated the impact of different HLA genotyping levels on the assignment of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) and investigated whether inference of 2F-HR genotypes from low-resolution (LR) genotypes could be used to correctly assign DSA. Based on LR genotypes, 224 pretransplant DSAs were present in 140 patients and absent in 860 patients (DSAneg group). READ MORE
