Popis: The influence of HLA matching on liver transplant is still controversial, as studies have failed to demonstrate an adverse effect of HLA mismatching on transplant outcome. We examined the effect of HLA mismatching on transplant outcome in a series of 342 consecutive liver transplants (224 finally analyzed). HLA typing was performed by serological and molecular methods. HLA-A matching was associated with an increased chronic rejection incidence (P=0.04). Indeed, HLA-A match also demonstrated a significant impact on allograft survival (P=0.03), confirming previous observation concerning to rejection, as complete HLA-A mismatching favored a better liver transplant outcome. Analysis of HLA-A+B+DR matching also demonstrated a significant impact on graft survival (P
