Chronic renal allograft dysfunction.
The major causes of renal transplant loss are death from vascular, malignant or infectious disease, and loss of the allograft from chronic renal dysfunction associated with the development of graft fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis. Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is the histologic description of the fibrosis, vascular and glomerular damage occurring in renal allografts. Clinical programs rel...
متن کاملChronic lung allograft dysfunction: evolving practice.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) was recently introduced as an overarching term covering different phenotypes of chronic allograft dysfunction, including obstructive CLAD (bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome), restrictive CLAD (restrictive allograft syndrome) and graft dysfunction due to causes not related to chronic rejection. In the present review, we will highlight t...
متن کاملChronic allograft dysfunction: major contributing factors.
Chronic, progressive, and irreversible loss of a transplanted kidney function, previously named chronic allograft nephropathy, is the leading cause of chronic allograft failure among kidney transplant recipients. Chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) is a multifactorial process associated with progressive interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. Current Data confirms that an additive series of ...
متن کاملUrine proteomics to detect biomarkers for chronic allograft dysfunction.
Despite optimal immunosuppressive therapy, more than 50% of kidney transplants fail because of chronic allograft dysfunction. A noninvasive means to diagnose chronic allograft dysfunction may allow earlier interventions that could improve graft half-life. In this proof-of-concept study, we used mass spectrometry to analyze differences in the urinary polypeptide patterns of 32 patients with chro...
متن کاملPhysiology of chronic lung allograft dysfunction: back to the future?
Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is, in one sense, a term without a true consensus definition, although its common usage in the field of lung transplantation implies a base understanding throughout the community that it describes a lung allograft that does not work (well) [1]. There appears to be general agreement that CLAD most commonly occurs in a time-dependent fashion after transpl...
