Kidney Transplant - ABO Incompatible Transplant
ABO Incompatible Transplants
Ordinarily, if a person receives a kidney from a person with a different blood type, his or her immune system will recognize the organ as foreign and attack it. A process called plasmapheresis is used to remove the antibodies against the different blood type. Stanford offers a protocol that allows some recipients with incompatible blood type donors to undergo this procedure so that the transplant can take place.
