Improving Access to Kidney Transplantation without Decreasing Graft Survival: Long-Term Outcomes of Blood Group A2/A2B Deceased Donor Kidneys in B Recipients

Abstract

Transplanting A2/A2B deceased donor kidneys into B recipients leads to an equalization of waiting time between blood groups with similar patient and graft survival using conventional immunosuppression. This protocol could lead to more equal access to kidney transplantation in blood group B recipients.
