Acute antibody-mediated rejection of renal transplant associated with cellular crescents: First case report
(2011-09-01)
Acute antibody-mediated rejection is characterized by histological abnormalities such as glomerulitis, capillaritis, or thrombosis associated with presence of C4d and specific anti-donor antibodies. Reports on the association ...
Mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate and microcirculation injury in acute rejection: Role in renal allograft survival
(2013-05-22)
This study aimed at investigating associations between monocytes/ macrophages (Mo) infiltration and three important criteria associated with acute antibody-mediated rejection: C4d staining, microcirculation injury, and ...
In situ expression of mononuclear cell markers and interleukin-2 receptor in renal allograft biopsies of acute rejection and borderline cases
(2007-01-01)
The correct diagnosis of renal allograft rejection may be difficult using only clinical and/or histopathological criteria. Immunological assays should be considered in order to evaluate the phenotype of inflammatory ...
Human leukocyte antigen-G expression after kidney transplantation is associated with a reduced incidence of rejection
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-02-01)
HLA-G is a non-classic Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA-G) Class I of low polymorphism and restricted tissue distribution that displays tolerogenic functions. In heart transplantation and in combined liver/renal allograft ...
An open randomized study comparing immunosuppression therapy initiated before or after kidney transplantation in haploidentical living recipients
(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004-08-01)
Background: Acute rejection is the most important risk factor for graft survival. Although many centers start immunosuppressive therapy days before the surgery in living donors, there is no systematic study concerning the ...
Rejeição corneana pós transplante de córnea: análise de dados do Banco de Olhos do Hospital São Paulo - Escola Paulista de Medicina
(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2000-02-01)
Purpose: Among all grafts, corneal transplantation is the most commonly performed. Graft outcome is usually good, but some cases failure due to rejection can be observed.There are some well-known risk factors for corneal ...
T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) in relation to acute cardiac allograft rejection
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2004-11-01)
The purpose of this study was to quantify T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) in blood mononuclear cells of cardiac transplant recipients and to investigate a possible relationship between TREC levels and rejection ...
Post-transplant soluble CD30 levels are associated with early subclinical rejection in kidney transplantation
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-03-01)
Several studies have shown association of high pre- or post-transplant levels of soluble CD30 (sCD30) with acute rejection and poor late kidney transplant outcome. Our goal was to investigate whether sCD30 levels at month-3 ...
Anemia at one year is an independent risk factor of graft survival
(2012-02-01)
Background Post-transplant anemia is multifactorial and highly prevalent. Some studies have associated anemia with mortality and graft failure. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the presence of anemia at 1 ...
Tim-3 expression in human kidney allografts
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-04-01)
Background: Tim-3 was recently described as a Th1-specific molecule, participating in the regulation of immune responses and in the induction of allograft tolerance. Here, we studied Tim-3 mRNA expression together with ...
