Adequate HLA Matching in Keratoplasty

HLA matching

INTRODUCTION — The evidence that antigens of the HLA system provide the major barrier to acceptance of renal transplants was first obtained with living-related donor transplants. Graft survival was superior in sibling pairs having both the same serologically defined HLA antigens and a nonreactive in vitro mixed lymphocyte proliferative response when compared to randomly matched cadaveric donors...

Non-HLA antigens and HLA-DR matching in corneal transplantation.

2112 Survival of high risk HLA matched penetrating keratoplasty

To quantify clinical and operative factors influencing comeal graft outcome. MeVlods Multifactorial analysis of 2242 grafts registered by United Kingdom Transplant Service from July 1987 to June 1990. Results Increased risk of graft failure with: pm operative stmmal oedema; small trechine size: difference in donor and recioient sizes areater than 0.25 mm: and mixed ccntinuous and interrupted su...

HLA matching effect in liver transplantation.

W E HAVE previously shown the HLA matching effect on liver allografts. which suggested the importance of class I matching in liver transplantation. l In this study, using a new set of patients, we reviewed our earlier analysis to study whether or not the class I matching effect still remained. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of a total of 347 patients who received orthotopic liver tr...

Risk Factors for Failure of Keratoplasty in Keratoconus: Penetrating vs. Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty

Purpose: To determine the etiologic factors on rejection and failure rates and ocular surface changes after corneal transplantation by either DALK or PKP, in cases of keratoconus (KCN). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, considering the existing data, patients with keratoconus referring to Labbafinejad Medical Center from 2006 to 2016, who underwent corneal transplantation, were enrolled a...
