Abstract
We report a case of ABO incompatible living kidney transplantation in a 45-year-old man with selective IgA deficiency. He has been on hemodialysis for 1 year due to chronic renal failure. Although the serum anti-IgA antibody was negative, he has experienced anaphylactic reaction to red blood cell product in the past. Before the transplantation, we performed double filtration plasmapheresis for two times, but didn't performed plasma exchange, considering the possibility of producing anti-IgA antibody and anaphylactic reaction. He underwent kidney transplantation from his mother without anaphylactic reaction, following to the recirculation of renal blood flow. He was discharged on the 29th postoperative day when the serum creatinine level was 1.2 mg/dL. The graft function was stable at 8 months after transplantation with no evidence of rejection and infection.
