Fatal graft versus host hemolytic reaction from Rhesus compatible mismatched liver transplantation
Abstract
Matching for Rhesus (Rh) blood group is not part of organ allocation systems. The principle concern expressed in the literature is that Rh-negative recipients might become sensitized and produce anti-D antibody which would have consequences for them if transfusion with Rh-positive blood or a pregnancy were to occur later.
