                          SANGSTAT MEDICAL CORPORATION

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SangStat 
Medical Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Intercompany 
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

While the quarterly financial information in this filing is unaudited, 
the financial statements presented reflect all adjustments (consisting 
only of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers 
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the 
interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company at 
the dates of the interim balance sheets.  These results for interim 
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire 
year.  The information included in this report should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes 
thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.



Net Loss Per Share

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, 
Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128") in the fourth quarter of 1997.  SFAS 
128 requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS 
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted 
average of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS 
reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other 
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common 
stock.  Common share equivalents including stock options, warrants and 
redeemable convertible preferred stock have been excluded as their 
effect would be antidilutive.  All net loss per share amounts for all 
periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to conform to 
the SFAS 128 requirement.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 130, Reporting 
Comprehensive Income.  This statement requires that all items recognized 
under accounting standards as components of comprehensive earnings be 
reported in an annual financial statement and displayed with the same 
prominence as other annual financial statements.  This statement also 
requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive earnings 
by their nature in an annual financial statement.  Annual financial 
statements for prior periods will be reclassified, as required.  The 
Company's total comprehensive earnings (loss) were as follows:

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

During the first quarter, the Company continued to prepare for the launch of
its two lead products, including running additional clinical studies, building
a sales and marketing team and developing THE TRANSPLANT PHARMACY.

Total revenues.  Net product  sales were $1,543,000 in the first quarter 
of 1998 as compared with $690,000 in the first quarter of 1997.  This 
increase of $853,000 or 123% was primarily due to a 618% increase in 
sales of THE TRANSPLANT PHARMACY and an 11% increase in revenues for 
THYMOGLOBULIN in Canada under that country's emergency drug release 
program and partially offset by a 9% decrease in sales of PRA-STAT and 
CROSS-STAT.  In the first quarter of 1998, two additional transplant 
centers became participants in  THE TRANSPLANT PHARMACY, which brought 
the number of participating centers in the United States to eleven and 
further expanded the number of patients enrolled in THE TRANSPLANT 
PHARMACY.

Cost of sales and manufacturing.  Cost of sales and manufacturing 
expenses were $1,563,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 1998 as 
compared with $702,000 in the same quarter of 1997.  This increase of 
$861,000 or 123% primarily reflects the increase in cost of sales for 
THE TRANSPLANT PHARMACY as well as some increase in cost of sales for 
THYMOGLOBULIN and monitoring products.  

Research and development.  Research and development expenses decreased
to $3,082,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $3,384,000 in the same 
period in 1997.  This decrease of $302,000 or 9% primarily reflects a 
decline in regulatory and clinical development expenses for 
AZATHIOPRINE, partially offset by increases in expense for CELSIORr, 
ALLOTRAP peptides and XENOJECT.   The Company is conducting both 
ongoing and newly initiated clinical trials in transplant patients with 
THYMOGLOBULIN and CYCLOSPORINE. In the first quarter of 1998, the 
Company completed its first clinical trial of its proprietary 
CYCLOSPORINE, Sang-35, in liver transplant recipients.  This trial
was conducted to assess the bioequivalence of Sang-35 to Neoral in 
this growing patient population and to further build on the clinical 
data already accumulated from more than 450 healthy volunteers and 
stable renal transplant recipients.  The results of this liver trial 
have been accepted for a podium presentation at the Annual Meeting of 
the American Society of Transplant Physicians in May 1998. In February, 
SangStat received correspondence from the FDA indicating that the Agency 
had completed its review of the Company's CYCLOSPORINE marketing 
application.  Importantly, the short list of questions raised in the 
letter were not related to the bioequivalence trials.  A pre-approval 
inspection of the finished product manufacturing facility was deemed not 
necessary by the FDA.  The Abbreviated Antibiotic Drug Application 
(AADA) for marketing SangStat's proprietary CYCLOSPORINE, Sang-35, was 
submitted to the FDA in November 1996, as a bioequivalent formulation to 
Neoral for the prevention of rejection in organ transplant recipients.  
SangStat provided responses to the FDA's questions in March 1998, and 
these answers are currently under active review at the FDA. In February 
1998, the Company filed in Europe for marketing authorization for its 
proprietary CYCLOSPORINE product candidate for the prevention of graft 
rejection in transplant recipients.  This application has been filed to 
potentially benefit from the European Union's Mutual Recognition 

                                      -8-

Procedure for registering drugs in multiple member states.  Importantly, 
the application has been accepted and is currently under review by the 
reference state's (in which the application was filed) regulatory 
agency.  Further in regard to CYCLOSPORINE, in January SangStat unveiled 
CycloTech, an innovative cyclosporine delivery system intended to be 
used by patients with the Company's CYCLOSPORINE drug product candidate 
as it targets the $1.3 billion cyclosporine market.  CycloTech is a 
compact, hand-held device with a built-in smart chip that is designed to 
deliver and track each dose of oral cyclosporine solution taken by a 
transplant recipient.  CycloTech is pending 510(k) clearance by the FDA. 

In regard to THYMOGLOBULIN, in January 1998, the Company announced the 
preliminary results of the first U.S. double blinded trial evaluating 
THYMOGLOBULIN (anti-thymocyte globulin, rabbit) vs. ATGAM (anti-
thymocyte globulin, horse) for induction therapy, at the time of 
transplant, to prevent acute graft rejection in kidney transplant 
patients.  A preliminary intent-to-treat analysis of the data showed 
that the overall incidence of acute rejection (biopsy proven, primary 
endpoint) in the THYMOGLOBULIN treated patients was 4.2% versus 25% in 
the ATGAM treated patients (p=0.01).  Only 10.4% patients treated with 
THYMOGLOBULIN developed CMV disease vs. 33.3% treated with ATGAM 
(p=0.025).  There were fewer serious adverse events with THYMOGLOBULIN 
(p=0.0009).  Greater and more persistent T-cell depletion and a more 
frequent leukopenia were observed with THYMOGLOBULIN treatment as 
compared to ATGAM.  These findings may partly explain the lower 
incidence of rejection with THYMOGLOBULIN as compared to ATGAM. New data 
on the long-term follow-up of this induction trial also will be 
presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Transplant 
Physicians in May 1998.  Based on these results, SangStat intends to 
conduct further studies with THYMOGLOBULIN for the prevention of 
rejection, as part of its development program for this new indication in 
the United States. In late January 1998, a Product License Application 
(PLA) `Complete Review' letter from the FDA was issued for 
THYMOGLOBULIN.  The FDA pre-approval site inspection of the Pasteur 
Merieux Connaught manufacturing facility was also completed.  The PLA 
for market clearance of THYMOGLOBULIN for the treatment of rejection was 
filed with the FDA in January 1997.  SangStat and Pasteur Merieux 
Connaught provided responses to the questions on the PLA and 
observations from the inspection, and these answers are currently under 
active review at the FDA.

Selling, general and administrative.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses increased to $4,631,000 in the first quarter of 
1998 from $1,826,000 in the same quarter of the previous year.  This 
increase of $2,805,000 or 154% primarily reflects the Company's 
expansion of its commercial infrastructure and pre-marketing activities 
to help support the future potential U.S. launches, subject to 
regulatory approvals, of the Company's first two therapeutic product 
candidates, THYMOGLOBULIN and CYCLOSPORINE, and the growth of The 
Transplant Pharmacy program to eleven transplant centers.  This included 
the expansion of the North American marketing, sales and customer 
service departments to a total of 33 people including a sales force of 
18 representatives, and continued personnel additions to support the 
growing number of patients and centers participating in The Transplant 
Pharmacy program.

Other income and expenses.  Interest income increased by $422,000 to 
$1,144,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $722,000 in the same 
quarter of the previous year.  This increase is due to the increase in 
the average cash balance available for investment as a result of the 
Company's sale of equity securities in a public offering in March 1997.  
Interest and other expense for  capital lease obligations and long term 
notes increased to $51,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $33,000 in 
the first quarter of 1997.

Net loss.  The Company's net loss was $6,640,000 or $0.41 per share in 
the first quarter of 1998, compared with a net loss of $4,532,000 or 
$0.33 per share in the first quarter of 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the net cash used in 
operating activities was approximately $6,577,000 and $4,417,000, 
respectively.  The increase in net cash used in operating activities in 
these periods is due substantially to the increased amount of net loss 
incurred in each of these quarters.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company 
had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $83,480,000 and 
total assets of $98,682,050.

Net cash used in financing activities was $143,000 in the quarter ended 
March 31, 1998 compared to proceeds of $73,456,000 in the corresponding 
quarter in 1997.  The 1997 amount was substantially comprised of 
proceeds received from the sale of Common Stock in the Company's public 
offering in March 1997, partially offset by net repayments of notes 
payable and capital lease obligations.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $833,000 and $3,984,000 in 
the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and resulted 
substantially from the Company's net purchases of short-term investments 
and property and equipment and the change in other assets.

The Company expects to incur significant costs related to, among other 
things, continued clinical and preclinical testing, regulatory approval 
activities and research and development programs in the future and 
establishment of larger sales staffs in the United States and Europe. If 
and when the Company receives FDA approval of its therapeutic drug 
candidates, the Company expects to have additional working capital 
requirements for expansion of sales and increased inventory levels.  If 
the Company receives FDA approval for THYMOGLOBULIN, it may be obligated 
to make a final milestone payment under a related license agreement 
totaling $1.5 million.  The Company believes that its existing capital 
resources, together with product sales and interest income will be 
sufficient to meet the Company's operating and capital requirements 
through at least 1999.  Although the Company has no current contractual 
obligations relating to capital expenditures, it anticipates that 
capital expenditures, primarily for its United States operations, will 
aggregate approximately $1 million during 1998.  The Company's future 
capital requirements will depend on many factors, including its research 
and development programs, the scope and results of clinical trials, the 
time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs 
involved in obtaining and enforcing patents or any litigation by third 
parties regarding intellectual property, the status of competitive 
products, the establishment of sales and marketing capacity or third-
party manufacturing arrangements, the establishment of collaborative 
relationships with other parties, and the costs of manufacturing scale-
up and working capital requirements for inventory and financing of 
accounts receivable.  If adequate funds are not available, the Company 
may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of its 
development programs or obtain funds through arrangements with 
collaborative partners or others that may require the Company to 
relinquish rights to certain technologies, product candidates or 
products that the Company would not otherwise relinquish.

This document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and 
uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements may reflect the Company's 
current views with respect to future events.  Actual results may vary 
materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated, or 
otherwise indicated.  Important factors common to the FDA drug review 
and approval process could cause actual results to differ materially 
with regard to the approvability of SangStat's THYMOGLOBULIN or 
CYCLOSPORINE.  These factors include, without limitation: (1) that data 
obtained from clinical trials are subject to varying interpretations, 
and there can be no assurance that the FDA (or an FDA panel of experts) 
will agree with the Company's assessment of clinical trial results; (2) 
that there can be no assurance that the agency will not issue new 
guidelines, guidance documents, policies, or regulations or otherwise 
have new, different or previously unknown requirements that may 
materially affect the approvability of the product; and (3) that there 
can be no assurance of FDA approval of the product.  Other factors that 
could cause actual results to differ materially include, without 
limitation, uncertainty related to the manufacturing of commercial 
quantities of product on commercially favorable terms, market acceptance 
and potential litigation.  For a discussion of factors that might result 
in different outcomes, see the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, in 
particular "Risk Factors" set forth therein,  filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission.
