Key Components of ABO Incompatible Transplants
DESENSITIZATION THERAPY
A pre-transplant treatment that reduces the recipient’simmune response to the donor’s blood type, minimizing the risk of rejection.
PLASMAPHERESIS
A process similar to dialysis that removes antibodies from the blood, further reducing the risk of rejection.
IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE MEDICATIONS
Post-transplant medications that help maintain the immune system’s tolerance of the new kidney.
How Do ABO Incompatible Transplants Work?
Conditions Treated with ABO Incompatible Transplants
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD):
For patients with ESRD, ABO incompatible transplants provide an opportunity to receive a kidney from a broader pool of donors, reducing wait times and improving outcomes.
Pre-Transplant Preparation:
Includes desensitization therapy and plasmapheresis to prepare the recipient’s immune system for the new kidney.
Surgical Procedure:
The kidney transplant surgery itself is performed similarly to ABO compatible transplants, with the donor kidney placed in the recipient’s body.
Post-Transplant Care:
Close monitoring and continued immunosuppressive therapy to ensure the body accepts the new kidney.
How Do ABO Incompatible Transplants Work?
Pre-Transplant Evaluation:
Comprehensive medical assessments to determine thesuitability of the recipient and the preparation required for desensitization.
Desensitization Process:
Begins weeks before the transplant, involving plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive drugs.
Transplant Surgery:
The donor kidney is surgically placed in the recipient, followed by immediate post-operative care.
Post-Transplant Monitoring:
Ongoing medical supervision to adjust medications and ensure the recipient’s body adapts to the new kidney.
