Abstract
 
It is safe to transplant kidneys from blood group A2 donors into O recipients if the latter have low titers of anti-A antibodies. However, in liver transplantation, O and B recipients of A2 donor livers are not routinely screened for anti-blood group antibodies because of the immuno-absorptive capacity of the liver and the low incidence of antibody-mediated rejection. Herein, we report a rare case of combined cell and antibody-mediated rejection in a pediatric blood group O recipient of an A2 donor liver, and rescue of the allograft using PP and IVIG.
