DNA synthesis in peripheral blood leucocytes following renal transplantation

DNA synthesis in peripheral blood leucocytes following renal transplantation.

DNA synthesis in peripheral blood leucocytes following renal transplantation. DNA synthesis in peripheral blood leucocytes following renal transplantation was measured during the postoperative period in 22 renal allografted patients. Significant increases in synthesis were considered in relation to rejection episodes and immunosuppressive therapy. Results in 17 patients with good renal function...

Changes in peripheral blood leucocytes following i.v. anaesthesia and surgery.

Sir,—Observations of leucocytosis following anaesthesia and surgery are certainly not new. Current interest is, for the most part, centred around possible depression of cellular immune response by the various anaesthetic agents on the cancer patient treated by surgery. The high incidence of apparently "anaphylactoid" or hypersensitivity-type adverse responses to the newer i.v. anaesthetic agent...

Peripheral blood catalase in patients undergoing renal transplantation.

Oxygen free radicals are mediators of tissue injury and catalase is an enzyme which is involved in limiting this process. We examined peripheral blood catalase activity (PBCA) to assess its value as a marker in detecting tissue injury related to renal allograft rejection. Thirty-one consecutive recipients of kidney (n = 29) or simultaneous kidney/pancreas (n = 2) transplants and 10 normal volun...
