    detects recipient preformed antibodies and helps to prevent hyperacute rejection
  6. do not require preop crossmatch

  40. path of rejection in kidney txp
    tubulitis, vasculitis if severe
  41. mcc of mortality after kidney txp
    MI
  42. mgmt of increase Cr and decrease UO post kidney txp
    • fluid challenge +/- lasix
    • u/s with bx
    • empiric pulse steroids and decrease of CSA or FK
  43. contraindications for living kidne donation
    • cardiovascular dz
    • dm
    • hiv
    • current cocaine
    • hep B or C
    • concurrent Ca or current infection
