Is Consideration Of The Rh Factor Important When Determining Compatibility For Kidney Transplantation?
Is the rH factor of a persons blood type considered when determining compatibility for a kidney transplant. If the recipient has the least common rH factor (I m not sure if that is the positive or negative)would a potential donor have to have the same rH factor??

Hello,
Blood group and Rh factor is important for kidney transplantation. If Rh factor is mismatched the transplanted kidney might get rejected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
