Chronic transplant glomerulopathy: need for further assessment.
C hronic transplant glomerulopathy (CTG), investigated in a large single-center study by Akalin et al. (1), is an interesting pathologic lesion that develops in the renal allograft. It is characterized by endothelial cell injury or loss, accumulation of flocculent material in a widened subendothelial space, and mesangial interposition with deposition of new matrix along glomerular capillary wal...
متن کاملTransplant capillaropathy and transplant glomerulopathy: ultrastructural markers of chronic renal allograft rejection.
A late dysfunction of a renal allograft refers to a progressive decline in renal function manifested)3 months after transplantation. A late dysfunction may have several causes, such as chronic rejection, chronic allograft nephropathy, chronic calcineurin inhibitor toxicity, de novo or recurrent renal disease and acute rejection. An allograft biopsy is necessary to establish a definitive diagnos...
متن کاملKidney transplant outcomes in familial C3 glomerulopathy
C3 glomerulopathy, a newly designated entity, is characterized by glomerular disease associated with dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway and is a rare cause of end-stage kidney disease. Overall disease characteristics that include clinical presentation, laboratory assessment, histopathology and genetic background have only been unravelled in recent years and have led to the deve...
متن کاملTransplant Glomerulopathy: Pathogenesis, Morphology, and Prognosis
Transplant glomerulopathy (TG) has emerged as an important leading cause to late renal allograft loss. It is easily distinguished from other causes of renal allograft nephropathies, by the presence of thickened glomerular capillary loops and double contouring, in the presence of graft dysfunction and proteinuria clinically. The association between TG with anti-HLA antibodies, C4d, and prior ant...
متن کاملPain assessment in animal models: do we need further studies?
In the last two decades, animal models have become important tools in understanding and treating pain, and in predicting analgesic efficacy. Although rodent models retain a dominant role in the study of pain mechanisms, large animal models may predict human biology and pharmacology in certain pain conditions more accurately. Taking into consideration the anatomical and physiological characteris...
