Current progress in ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation
ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOi KT) was introduced to expand the donor pool and minimize shortage of kidneys for transplantation. Because improved outcomes of ABOi KT were reported in Japan in the early 2000s, the number of ABOi KTs has been increasing worldwide. In addition, a better understanding of immune pathogenesis and subsequent aggressive immunosuppression has helped to ma...
متن کاملCurrent aspects of ABO-incompatible liver transplantation
Blood-group type matching has been well known as the principal rule in organ transplantation. However, as the possibility of obtaining grafts from living donors is very low, adjustment of blood type is sometimes very difficult. On the other hand, and particularly in Far East countries, it is even harder to obtain grafts from deceased donors; thus, living donors must be used for the rescue of pa...
متن کاملABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation
ABO antigens are composed of sugar chains and exist not only on red cells but also on many other cells including endothelial cells and epithelial cells of various organs such as kidney, heart, bowel, lung, and pancreas (Marionneau et al., 2001). ABO antibodies, which have been called as isoagglutinins, are preformed antibodies directed against missing A or B antigens. The source of anti-A/B ant...
متن کاملABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplantation
ABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation has long been considered a contraindication to successful kidney transplantation. During the last 25 years, increasing organ shortage enforced the development of strategies to overcome the ABO antibody barrier. In the meantime, ABOi kidney transplantation has become a routine procedure with death-censored graft survival rates comparable to the rate...
متن کاملA Brief History of Abo-incompatible Liver Transplantation
The annual number of liver transplantation (LT) in Korea has continuously increased, mainly due to the explosive rise in the number of living donor liver transplants (LDLT) (Fig. 1A) [1]. However, LT cannot keep pace with the increase in the size of the waiting list in Korea despite the recent gradual boost in deceased donor numbers (Fig. 1B) [1]. Therefore, expanding the liver donor pool has a...
