The skin–kidney connection: bullous pemphigoid associated with acute allograft rejection and membranous nephropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bullous pemphigoid has been linked to allograft rejection, as well as membranous nephropathy in renal transplant recipients. Although there is a possibility of multiple distinct autoimmune processes, immune stimulation induced by allograft rejection or antibasement zone antibody interactions are possible mechanisms for the simultaneous skin and renal involvement.

Bullous pemphigoid in a chronic renal allograft rejection patient: a case report and review of the literature
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder of the skin. Various provocative factors have been proposed. However, BP in renal transplantation patients has scarcely been reported. Herein, we report the case of a 27-year-old man who received cadaveric renal transplantation 10 years ago presenting with bullous eruption during chronic renal allograft rejection phase, with the renal...

متن کاملThe Predictive Value of HLA-DR Matching and Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Renal Allograft Acute Rejection: A Living-unrelated Donor (LURD) Study
Background: In addition to Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) compatibility, gene polymorphisms in cytokines might also be important in the quality of allogeneic immune response. Objective: To evaluate the influence of HLA-DR matching and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms on acute rejection after living-unrelated donor (LURD) kidney transplantation. Methods: A total of 42 renal transplants pe...
متن کاملMast cells: the forgotten cells of renal fibrosis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Mast cells, when activated, secrete a large number of fibrogenic factors and have been implicated in the development of fibrotic conditions of the liver, lung, and skin. There is evidence that renal fibrosis is closely linked with a chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate within the interstitium, but a potential role for mast cells in this process has yet to be defined. Therefore, ...

Background & Amis: BK polyomavirus (BKV) is common infection of childhood that persists in kidney epithelium. BKV reactivation characterized by viruria occurs in 35% to 57% of renal allograft recipients. BK virus was detected in serum samples in 6% to 29% of these patients. BKV-associated nephropathy occurs in as many as 8% of renal allograft recipients and may lead to . This study was carri...
