Molecular Phenotypes of Kidney Graft Rejection
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the last decade, gene expression studies of kidney transplants provided an opportunity to better understand the development and regulation of kidney graft rejection. This review outlines the progress in the definition of biomarkers of rejection and, above all, concentrates on studies of the molecular phenotype of rejection. This phenotype, rather than morphological characterization, may be critical for assessing the ongoing processes in the graft and for the outcome prediction. Copyright © 2011 S. Karger AG, Basel

متن کاملCan the kidney volume help to differentiate the types of rejection before biopsy?
Background: The aim of this study was to use the volume of the graft as an adjunct tool for better decision making. Methods: Kidney transplanted patients with acute azotemia and documented volume and finally a biopsy were enrolled in this study. Graft volumes between rejected patients (antibody-mediated rejection {AMR} and cell - mediated rejection {CMR}) and non rejected but azotemic patien...
متن کاملMolecular phenotypes of acute rejection predict kidney graft prognosis.
Earlier detection of antibody-mediated rejection of kidney allografts may improve graft outcomes. Profiling of gene expression holds promise for the diagnosis and prognosis of antibody-mediated rejection. Here, we identified 730 patients who received kidney transplants during 2002-2005, including 21 patients (2.9%) who experienced early acute antibody-mediated rejection. We also identified a ma...
متن کاملInflammatory cells in renal allografts.
Renal transplants are injured by a variety of diseases and pathways. One important cause for acute and chronic graft failure is rejection. Since the advent of kidney transplantation, it has become apparent that rejection is a cellular and/or antibody mediated inflammatory process with different histologic phenotypes, and clinical degrees of severity. In recent years, the immunohistochemical det...
