Abstract

For patients with ESRD, kidney transplant offers significant survival and quality-of-life advantages compared with dialysis. Non-sensitized renal transplant recipients when compared to patients with preformed alloantibodies, the latter are at greater risk of cellular, humeral rejection and premature graft failure. In this paper we will present a successful case of young adult who has ESRD and maintained on regular hemodialysis and undergo live related renal transplant with high dose HLA class I and class II antibodies and negative cross match by CDC and flow cytometry.

Keywords
