Transfusion of one HLA-DR antigen-matched blood to potential recipients of a renal allograft.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Currently, the severity of veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is graded retrospectively on the basis of the evolution of clinical and biological criteria. The objective of this study was to describe a noninvasive method capable of predicting the severity of this disease at the time of the diagnosis. METHODS:Seven...
