DETAILED ANALYSIS OF DONOR-RECIPIENT TISSUE MISMATCH MAY HELP PERSONALIZE TREATMENT AFTER TRANSPLANTATION

Researchers have found that a detailed examination of the degree of tissue type mismatch between donors and recipients can help determine how much medication an individual recipient will need after transplantation. The findings, which appear in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN), may help guide transplant physicians in choosing the appropriate doses for individual patients.
