ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplantation- A review with a perspective from a center in India
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Reserach - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
ABO incompatible kidney transplantation is performed all over the world in order to increase the donor pool and reduce the waiting time for kidney transplantation. The success of such transplantation depends on the desensitization at the time of transplantation. Although in the immediate post operative period more antibody mediated rejections are seen the long term outcome is excellent comparable to the regular kidney transplantation. In a country like India, infections are a major problem related to excessive immunosupression. This article describes the present state of art in ABO incompatible kidney transplantations and the experience of a center from South India where 35 patients have undergone such transplantation.
