Abstract
The value of the MLR in predicting graft outcome was evaluated in 40 cadaveric grafts. The MLR was assessed by the 1- and 2-way stimulation index (SI), the relative response (RR) and the stabilized relative response (SRR). Graft function was assessed by function at 3 and 6 mo. after transplantation, and a rejection grading based on the number and severity of rejection episodes during the first 3 mo. after transplantation. No correlation was found between the MLR and graft outcome in these patients.
