Abstract

We present management strategies utilised for the first case of an urgent live-donor ABO incompatible B blood group renal transplant, in a patient with a prior A blood group lung transplant for cystic fibrosis. Three years on, renal function is excellent and stable, whilst lung function has improved.

Keywords: ABO blood group incompatibility; End-stage kidney disease; Lung transplantation; Renal transplantation.
