Now, in a large national study that experts are calling revolutionary, researchers have found a way to get them the desperately needed procedure.” Survival Benefit with Kidney Transplants from HLA-Incompatible Live Donors http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1508380 “Recipients of kidney transplants from incompatible live donors had a higher survival rate than either control group at 1 year (95.0%, vs. 94.0% for the waiting-list-or-transplant control group and 89.6% for the waiting-list-only control group)[…]” Transplant rejection https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000815.htm “When a person receives an organ from someone else during transplant surgery, that person’s immune system may recognize that it is foreign. This is because the person’s immune system detects that the antigens on the cells of the organ are different or not “matched.” Mismatched organs, or organs that are not matched closely enough, can trigger a blood transfusion reaction or transplant rejection.” ____________________ DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories & perspectives you won’t find anywhere else!
