    Can any doctors/other knowledgeable person in IL please answer this question?

    For Kindney transplantation, I knew doctors run a lot of tests for tissue matching and other matches. Does blood group of donor/recipient to be the same? Say if the recipient is a B-Ve blood group, the donor also has to be B-Ve or the donor can be any blood group and we have advanced medications now to take care of the blood group mismatch after the transplantation. Your answers mean a lot to me, please provide me your valuables answers to help a suffering in my family.

    Thanks

    Dear msm,
    I heard from a famous nephrologist who deals with kidney transplants...that RH factor doesn't matter for transplant and immuno suppresant drugs are used
    The following info...I got from internet
    The chart below shows what a well-matched blood type is for each blood group.

    [TABLE]
    [TR]
    [TD]If a RECIPIENT is Blood Type:[/TD]
    [TD="width: 144"]The DONOR must be Blood Type:[/TD]
    [/TR]

    [TD="width: 150"]O[/TD]
    [TD="width: 144"]O[/TD]

    [TD="width: 150"]A[/TD]
    [TD="width: 144"]A or O[/TD]
    [/TR]
    [TR]
    [TD="width: 150"]B[/TD]
    [TD="width: 144"]B or O[/TD]

    [TD="width: 150"]AB[/TD]
