Association between CXCL9/10 polymorphisms and acute rejection of liver allograft

Association between Amylase Excretion Fraction and Acute Renal Transplant Rejection in Pediatrics

Background and Objectives: Serum amylase increases and its excretion fraction decreases in patients with renal failure. Excretion fraction can be used as a diagnostic way in individuals with acute renal transplant rejection. In this study, the association between amylase excretion fraction and acute renal transplant rejection, was investigated in pediatrics.   Methods: in this case - control s...

Relationship between cytokine gene polymorphisms and acute rejection following liver transplantation.

Acute rejection (AR) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) is one of the major complications that leads to chronic graft dysfunction. It has been reported that the polymorphisms in some cytokine genes are associated with human liver allograft rejection. This study mainly investigated the associations between polymorphisms in the genes encoding interleukin-10 (IL10), transforming growth fa...

Acute allograft rejection: cellular and humoral processes.

Acute cellular rejection affects greater than one-third of lung transplant recipients. Alloreactive T-lymphocytes constitute the basis of lung allograft rejection. Recent evidence supports a more complex immune response to the allograft. Interaction between recipient genetics, immunosuppression therapies, and allograft environmental exposures likely contribute to high rejection rates after lung...

Acute and Chronic Lung Allograft Rejection

Over the last decade, lung transplantation has become a 'viable option for patients with end-stage lung disease. Due to the relatively small number of lung transplants done nationally, little experience has been gained in the outcome and management of pregnancies in the post-lung transplant patient, and little published data exist to assist the patient's physician regarding issues related to pr...
