introduction: human leukocyte antigen (hla) genes are the most polymorphic loci in the human genome. they predict the outcome of transplantation by detecting self from non-self antigens. the best use of hla typing is to find a hla-match donor for bmt candidate patients. evidence suggests that matching unrelated donors and recipients for hla-a, -b and -drb1 loci is a prediction for an improved o...

patients and methods from march 1976 to december 2013, the number of patients that underwent living renal transplantation sharing at least one hla haplotype with their donors was 2,485. we divided these patients into two groups: (1) 2,075 kidney transplant recipients (1,554 or 74.9% male and 521 or 25.1% female) for whom the donors were living related, (2) 410 kidney transplant recipients (297 ...

introduction: the main purpose of donor selection is not only the donor protection from blood donation complications but also the blood recipient not be expose to blood- transmitted diseases. this study aimed to determine the reason for exemption from donors among blood donor's who refer to ilam blood transfusion organization. materials and methods: this is a retrospective and descriptive ...

background and objectives: hepatitis e virus (hev) is a major public health concern in developing countries. hev transmission occurs primarily by the fecal-oral route. it has also been reported that blood donors are potentially able to cause transfusion-associated hepatitis e in endemic areas. this study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of hev infection among volunteer blood donors in cent...
