Less toxic corticosteroid therapy in canine renal allografts.
The potentially serious side effects that result from prolonged pred nisolone (or prednisone) therapy are well known in clinical renal transplanta tion. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of less toxic corticosteroid therapy on canine renal allograft. Fifty-three dogs received renal allografts from randomly selected donors. They were assigned into four groups and were treat...
متن کاملPropranolol therapy for infantile hemangioma is less toxic but longer in duration than corticosteroid therapy.
BACKGROUND Infantile hemangioma is the most common benign, self-limiting tumour of childhood. Treatment is reserved for hemangiomas that obstruct vital structures or cause significant disfigurement. Traditionally, corticosteroids have been the medical treatment of choice. Since 2008, however, propranolol has been rapidly adopted as an effective pharmacological treatment for infantile hemangioma...
متن کاملMicrovascular changes in renal allografts associated with FK506 (Tacrolimus) therapy.
FK506 (Tacrolimus) recently has been shown to be an effective immunosuppressant after renal transplantation. It is associated with less hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and steroid use compared with cyclosporine. We report 10 patients on FK506 who showed fibrin thrombi within the glomerular capillaries and/or arterioles at renal allograft biopsy. These biopsies were generally performed to ass...
متن کاملThrombotic Microangiopathy in Renal Allografts
The term “thrombotic microangiopathy” (TMA) encompasses non-inflammatory small vessel vasculopathies that are caused by severe endothelial and medial smooth muscle cell injury/necrosis. TMAs can be promoted by a variety of “toxic” stimuli ranging from malignant range hypertension, E. coli infections with bloody diarrhea, radiation, systemic diseases such as scleroderma to iatrogenic events such...
متن کاملInflammatory cells in renal allografts.
Renal transplants are injured by a variety of diseases and pathways. One important cause for acute and chronic graft failure is rejection. Since the advent of kidney transplantation, it has become apparent that rejection is a cellular and/or antibody mediated inflammatory process with different histologic phenotypes, and clinical degrees of severity. In recent years, the immunohistochemical det...
