Abstract
In this study, the histocompatibility match of a group of patients treated at least one and a half years ago was calculated by a modification of the net histocompatibility ratio (NHR) formula of Rapaport and Dausset.1 Correlations were then made with the outcome as judged by patient and kidney survival, homograft function, the magnitude of maintenance immunosuppression, and the extent of histopathologic abnormalities in the transplants.
