Significance of the Positive Crossmatch Test in Kidney Transplantation
Abstract
Crossmatch tests of the prospective kidney-transplant donor's lymphocytes with the serum of the prospective recipient in 225 transplants showed that eight of 195 with negative crossmatch failed to function immediately, in contrast to 24 of 30 with positive crossmatch (p less than 0.001). Immediate failure occurred in significantly higher numbers among patients with a higher risk of having antibodies, such as multiparous females and patients receiving secondary transplants. The effect was not a nonspecific one, for more immediate failures occurred among transplants from unrelated than among those from related donors. The corresponding frequency of positive crossmatch was also lower among related donors. The presence of preformed cytotoxic antibodies against the donor appears to be a strong contraindication for transplantation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
