Abstract
Grafts from genetically related living donors have better survival rates than ones from deceased donors. Immunological match is one of the beneficial factors involved.
The aim of this paper is to discuss a case of a 55-year old patient living for 33 years with transplanted kidney, weaned off immunosuppressive therapy for 20 years. Perfect match between donor and recipient, homozygotic siblings, was vital for such long-term graft survival
Keywords: Kidney Transplantation, Graft Survival, HLA match, related donor, homozygotic twin
