High risk kidney transplant rejection treatment: cost savings from thymoglobulin.

Steroid-resistant kidney transplant rejection: diagnosis and treatment.

Decreases in transplant function may be attributable to a variety of conditions, including prerenal and postrenal failure, cyclosporin A (CsA) toxicity, polyoma nephritis, recurrent glomerulonephritis, and rejection. The diagnosis of rejection should therefore be made on the basis of a transplant biopsy of adequate size, before the initiation of any therapy. Pulse steroid treatment (three to fi...

HLA-DQ Mismatches and Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The current allocation algorithm for deceased donor kidney transplantation takes into consideration HLA mismatches at the ABDR loci but not HLA mismatches at other loci, including HLA-DQ. However, the independent effects of incompatibilities for the closely linked HLA-DQ antigens in the context of HLA-DR antigen matched and mismatched allografts are uncertain. We aimed...
