Abstract
Severe hemolysis and graft ischemia complicating solitary pancreas tra nsplantation with an ABO-compatible, Rh-negative, anti-D-positive dono r to Rh-positive recipient is described in this article. A brief revie w of the literature is presented. A rationale for preoperative screeni ng for red cell antibodies during solid organ transplantation in this special setting is discussed.
