[Effect of donor/recipient HLA-B match on transplant survival in patients with liver transplants with HBV cirrhosis].

: We retrospectively analysed 87 recipients of orthotopic liver transplants with HBV cirrhosis for the impact of HLA-B matching on postoperative outcome. Our data demonstrate a significantly increased graft survival for patients with 1 or 2 HLA-B matches (p < 0.02).
