Funded Activity Summary

In Australia, allocation of donor kidneys are currently weighted largely on the degree of donor-recipient HLA compatibility. However, not all HLA mismatches leads to negative outcomes. Acceptable HLA-mismatches are antigen mismatches that can be considered compatible at a structural and functional level and have been applied to circumvent the problem of difficulty finding suitable donors for highly-sensitised transplant candidates. We apply this concept to the Australian kidney transplant population.
