ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to compare flow cytometry cross match (FCXM) results in patients before first kidney transplantation with the incidence of rejection episodes and kidney graft survival after transplantation. Sera of 51 patients obtained immediately before transplantation were tested on spleen cells of respective kidney donors. We found no correlation between a positive FCXM result before transplantation and the occurrence of immunological complications after transplantation.
