PROSPECTIVE HLA-DP TYPING OF A CADAVERIC ORGAN DONOR FOR KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION – A CASE REPORT

Abstract: In this paper, we present the case of an HLA-DP immunized patient in the process of kidney re-transplantation for which potential pre-transplantation HLA-DP donor-specific antibodies were detected. For that reason, for the first time in our laboratory practice, prospective cadaveric donor HLA-DP typing was performed during the process of kidney allocation. This case, together with other international study reports and protocols of some transplantation programs, points to the importance of introducing pre-transplant HLA-DP typing in cadaveric kidney transplantation in Croatia.
