Transcription factor activity profile of acute rejection after kidney transplantation

cytomegalovirus and acute rejection in kidney transplantation

Rejection after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation.

BACKGROUND Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is an accepted therapy for type 1 diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease. This study analyses the occurrence of rejection episodes in patients undergoing SPK. METHODS The study population was obtained from 205 patients enrolled in the Euro-SPK 001 study and randomized to receive tacrolimus- (n = 103) or cyclosporin microemu...

NINE CASES OF MALIGNANCY AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

Renal transplantation is considered one of the best long-term therapies for chronic renal failure, but unfortunately the incidence of malignancy significantly increases in renal transplant recipients. We analyzed nine cases of malignancy in 200 renal transplant recipients occurring in a 12-year follow-up in Imam hospital of Tehran University, Tehran, Iran. According to this study, the organ...

Acute antibody-mediated rejection after intestinal transplantation

AIM To investigate the incidence, risk factors and clinical outcomes of acute antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) after intestinal transplantation (ITx). METHODS A retrospective single-center analysis was performed to identify cases of acute ABMR after ITx, based on the presence of donor-specific antibody (DSA), acute tissue damage, C4d deposition, and allograft dysfunction. RESULTS Acute AB...

Acute antibody-mediated rejection after lung transplantation.

BACKGROUND Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) after lung transplantation remains enigmatic, and there is no consensus on the characteristic clinical, immunologic and histologic features. METHODS We performed a retrospective, single-center cohort study and identified cases of acute AMR based on the presence of circulating donor-specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (DSA), histologic...
