CHANG DAVILA, Domingo. Actual situation and perspectives of HLA typing in renal transplant. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.2, pp.111-114. ISSN 1018-130X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v27i2.2848.

The introduction of compatibility tests for human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in the selection of donors for renal transplant has improved the survival and the prognosis of the transplant itself at both short and long-term periods of time. However, recent observations suggest less importance of HLA typing. Possible explanations for this phenomenon include the recent utilization of more potent immunosuppressive therapies, a greater importance of non HLA antigens, and non-immunologic factors.
