"Women who get a replacement kidney from a male donor are more likely to reject the new organ, scientists suggest.
Swiss researchers looked at almost 200,000 operations, finding an 8% increase in the chance of failure when male kidneys were given to women."

Well if i was in need for a kidney and a female doner was all there was, I'd be willing to risk it.

This doesn't surprise me too much. With all the subtle differences between men and women, including hormone levels, it makes sense that some transplants of opposite genders would be rejected.
