Liver transplant rejection: angiographic findings in 35 patients.
Rejection, the leading cause of liver allograft dysfunction, is usually detected by liver biopsy. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are angiographic findings that correlate with this posttransplantation complication. In a retrospective study, the angiograms of 35 patients with histologically proven allograft rejection were reviewed. The examinations were done because of suspec...
متن کاملPotential proteolytic activity of human plasma fibronectin.
Evidence is presented that fibronectin (FN) polypeptide chain contains a latent proteinase. Human plasma FN was cleaved with cathepsin D into three main fragments: 140-kDa and 70-kDa single-chain and 140-kDa double-chain polypeptides. Their separation was achieved according to their affinity for heparin-Sepharose. A single-chain 140-kDa fragment (H-1) was eluted in the first peak. This peptide ...
متن کاملPediatric Liver Transplant
The goals of post-transplant management are to manage and treat postoperative complications, and develop a balanced long-term immunotherapy regimen that minimizes infection and side effects but controls rejection. While modern immunosuppressant regimes have reduced rates of graft loss due to rejection, they impart major risks for infection, growth failure, metabolic complications, and malignanc...
متن کاملTransplant rejection in terrestrial molluscs
To know whether or not molluscs are capable of recognizing tissue allo-antigens, dorsal skin-allografts were exchanged between adult terrestrial slug, Incilaria fruhstorferi. We succeeded for the first time in orthotopic transplantation of allografts and observed chronic rejection of allografts. Cellular changes in the rejection process continued over for 40 days. Two functional types of “effec...
متن کاملRenal Transplant Rejection
Introduction: Determining if the cause of renal allograft dysfunction in the early post transplant period is due to rejection or other reasons is a daunting task for the clinician. Clinical signs and symptoms alone are not helpful in clearly distinguishing the numerous causes of renal dysfunction. Various noninvasive tests including imaging studies have also been unsuccessful in distinguishing ...
