Clinical Studies
Transplant centers in the Midwest Transplant Network OPO have performed transplantation of kidneys from donors whose blood group (ABO) was A2 or A2B into B or O blood group patients for over fourteen years. The clinical success of such transplants has provided us a means to increase the access of kidneys to the blood group B recipients within our OPO service area.
