Urinary adenylate kinase activity as a predictor of renal allograft crises.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined data on adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) activity and other clinical chemical values from patients with renal transplants by analysis of variance and discriminant analysis, using various combinations of variables in an attempt to find a predictor of transplant rejection. Some typical data are presented. We conclude that the combination of urinary adenylate kinase and creatinine clearance is the best predictor for identifying patients with transient or destructive renal transplant crises.

Urinary adenylate kinase and urinary tract infections.
Positive correlations were found among the appearance of adenylate kinase activity in the urine and the existence of bacteriuria, the Fairley test, and other criteria of urinary infection. Since the adenylate kinase isozymes of human tissues are organ specific and can be distinguished from one another, the appearance of adenylate kinase isozymes in urine was used in this study to identify the e...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of adenylate kinase from the human filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus
Adenylate kinases (ADK) are ubiquitous enzymes that contribute to the homeostasis of adeninenucleotides in living cells. In this study, the cloning of a cDNA encoding an adenylate kinase from the filariaOnchocerca volvulus has been described. Using PCR technique, a 281 bp cDNA fragment encoding part ofan adenylate kinase was isolated from an O. volvulus cDNA library. Use of this fragment as a p...

Urological complications after kidney transplantation(Tx) have been reported by many transplant centers. Most of surgical teams have planned for ureteral stent to prevent these urological complications especially urinary tract obstruction. In this report we present a 40-year-old woman who received a kidney allograft from a living unrelated donor(LURD) in May 1999. Because of disus...
متن کاملUrinary Calprotectin and Posttransplant Renal Allograft Injury
OBJECTIVE Current methods do not predict the acute renal allograft injury immediately after kidney transplantation. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of urinary calprotectin for predicting immediate posttransplant allograft injury. METHODS In a multicenter, prospective-cohort study of 144 incipient renal transplant recipients, we postoperatively measured urinary calprotectin using an en...

Background: Despite advances in the medical care of renal transplant recipients which have led to an improvement in allograft survival, renal allograft rejection is still a major ob-stacle to successful organ transplantation. Understanding the mechanisms contributing to allograft rejection will be of great importance for the development of efficient antirejection strategies. Objective: The aim ...
