kidney patients' vital information (i.e., blood type) with potential
organ donors.
Specifically, see the following projects: Improved Regional Tissue
Typing; Inter Hospital Kidney Transplant; and Regional Dialysis and
Transplant. These projects were in cooperation with the Missouri
Kidney Foundation. They were directed by Drs. Cross, Klahr, and
Anderson. The tissue typing was done by Dr. Cross at the Mid West
Organ Bank in Kansas City. These centers in Kansas City and St. Louis
are still active in 1995. [AER]
