Fatal graft-versus-host disease after living donor liver transplantation: Differential impact of donor-dominant one-way HLA matching
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication following liver transplantation. Recently, it was shown that use of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-homozygous donor leading to one-way HLA matching significantly increases the risk of GVHD after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). However, the precise impact of HLA matching between donor and recipient on the risk of...
