A new finding relating to transfusion and renal transplants.
Results in 29 recipients of second renal transplants from cadaver donors show a significantly better graft survival at 1 year of 90% in 10 recipients who had not received blood transfusion before their first transplant compared to 41% in 19 recipients who had been transfused prior to their first transplant (P = 0.025).
