Relationship between autophagy and acute rejection after kidney transplant

Association between Amylase Excretion Fraction and Acute Renal Transplant Rejection in Pediatrics

Background and Objectives: Serum amylase increases and its excretion fraction decreases in patients with renal failure. Excretion fraction can be used as a diagnostic way in individuals with acute renal transplant rejection. In this study, the association between amylase excretion fraction and acute renal transplant rejection, was investigated in pediatrics.   Methods: in this case - control s...

Relationship between European Mitochondrial Haplogroups and Chronic Renal Allograft Rejection in Patients with Kidney Transplant

Mitochondrial DNA variants may contribute to differences in mitochondrial function, leading to an altered immune system. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between mtDNA haplogroups and the development of chronic allograft dysfunction in patients with kidney transplant. A retrospective observational study was carried out on 261 patients who received kidney transplant (114 had...

Relation between pretransplant serum levels of soluble CD30 and acute rejection during the first 6 months after a kidney transplant.

OBJECTIVES The immunologic status of kidney allograft recipients affects transplant outcome. High levels of pretransplant serum soluble CD30 correlate with an increased risk of acute rejection. Studies show conflicting results. We evaluated the relation between pretransplant serum sCD30 levels with the risk of posttransplant acute kidney rejection in renal transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND...

Kidney Transplant Rejection: Diagnosis and Treatment

appendices outline appropriate laboratory techniques. Third, this volume incorporates discussions of unusual cutaneous tumors into one well-written monograph. Pathology of Unusual Malignant Cutaneous Tumors is an important reference textbook; tumors that are generally not discussed in a systematic fashion are presented clearly in this one source. The eight chapters in this book cover sweat glan...
