Chronic lung allograft dysfunction following lung transplantation: challenges and solutions

Chronic 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...

Acute and Chronic Lung Allograft Rejection

Over the last decade, lung transplantation has become a 'viable option for patients with end-stage lung disease. Due to the relatively small number of lung transplants done nationally, little experience has been gained in the outcome and management of pregnancies in the post-lung transplant patient, and little published data exist to assist the patient's physician regarding issues related to pr...

HLA-E⁎01:03 Allele in Lung Transplant Recipients Correlates with Higher Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction Occurrence

Lung transplantation (LTx) is a valid therapeutic option for selected patients with end-stage lung disease. HLA-E seems to play a major role in the immune response to different viral infections and to affect transplantation outcome, in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, for example. Two nonsynonymous alleles, HLA-E(⁎)01:01 and HLA-E(⁎)01:03, have functional differences, involving relative...
