Pre-Transplant
Testing
ePretransfusion lab testing for renal
transplants:
UABO blood
group testing
-A and B antigens present on RBC=s and vascular endothelial cells
UABO
compatibility cross-match between donor & recepient.
UHLA-A,
-B,-C, -DR, and -DQ tissue typing
-the closer the match the more successful the
transplant
UMixed
leukocyte reaction
-evaluates an in vitro
immune response between donor mononuclear cells and recipient mononuclear cells to donor MHC antigens and recipient MHC
antigens.
-the greater
the proliferation of cells the greater is the incompatibility of MHC antigens
