Abstract
The value of the MLR in predicting graft outcome was evaluated in forty cadaveric grafts. The MLR was assessed by the one and two way stimulation index (SI), the relative response (RR), and the stabilized relative response (SRR). Graft function was assessed by function at 3 and 6 months after transplantation, and a rejection grading based on the number and severity of rejection episodes during the first 3 months after transplantation. No correlation was found between the MLR and graft outcome in these patients.
