Donor specific blood transfusions and successful spousal kidney transplantation

J Urol. 1985 Jun;133(6):1024-5. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)49361-x.

Abstract

Donor-specific blood transfusions have improved significantly 1-haplotype living related donor kidney transplant results. We have applied this concept successfully in 2 spousal kidney transplants. This technique may provide an additional source of kidney grafts, especially in developing countries without cadaver kidney transplant programs.
