Diagnosis and Treatment of Pancreas Rejection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite significant improvement in pancreas allograft survival, rejection of the pancreas remains a major clinical problem. In addition to cellular rejection of the pancreas, antibody-mediated rejection of the pancreas is now a well-described entity. The 2011 Banff update established comprehensive guidelines for the diagnosis of acute and chronic AMR. The pancreas biopsy is critical in order to accurately diagnose and treat pancreas rejection. Other modes of monitoring pancreas rejection we feel are neither sensitive nor specific enough. In this review, we examine recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreas rejection as well as describe practical diagnostic and treatment algorithms.

متن کاملEnteric-drained pancreas transplants monitored by fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
As we previously reported1•2 documentation of pancreas rejection remains problematic because of the lack of specific and sensitive markers. Since most pancreas transplants are performed simultaneous with a kidney, clinical dysfunction from rejection, documented by an increase in serum creatinine and renal-core biopsy, automatically leads to the treatment of both grafts. Rejections of pancreatic...
