Heparan sulfate is a plasma biomarker of acute cellular allograft rejection.
Despite advances in management of immunosuppression, graft rejection remains a significant clinical problem in solid organ transplantation. Non-invasive biomarkers of graft rejection can facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection.

Plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage samples in acute lung allograft rejection: the potential role of cytokines as diagnostic markers [PDF]
The role of differential cytology patterns in peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage samples is increasingly investigated as a potential adjunct to diagnose acute and chronic allograft dysfunction after lung transplantation.

GATED SPECT IN PATIENTS WITH BIOPSY-NEGATIVE CARDIAC TRANSPLANT REJECTION [PDF]
Humoral rejection of the cardiac allograft is still a challenging problem associated with high incidence of graft loss and patient mortality. These episodes of rejection are often more severe, and more difficult to treat, than classical acute cellular ...

Cyclophosphamide for Refractory Acute Cellular Rejection After Lung Transplantation
Background. Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a major risk factor for chronic lung allograft dysfunction after lung transplantation. Acute cellular rejection can persist or recur despite augmentation of immunosuppression by conventional methods.

Lymphocele: a possible relationship with acute cellular rejection in kidney transplantation
CONTEXT: The incidence of lymphocele after renal transplantation varies between 0.6 and 18% of cases, and many factors have been associated to its etiology.

Diagnosis and treatment of acute antibody-mediated rejection in renal transplant: the role of C4d and donor-specific antibody identification [PDF]
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of antibody-mediated rejection after the C4d and donor specific antibody detection was provided by Luminex in renal transplantation biopsies; to compare acute antibody-mediated rejection characteristics as related

Acute cellular rejection grading scheme for human gastric allografts
The control of acute cellular rejection (ACR) in multivisceral transplantation improves long-term survival, but monitoring this process can be challenging because different allografts can display varying forms and degrees of rejection. Criteria for ACR of small bowel and liver have been established, but a systematic analysis for ACR in stomach is ...

Eosinophils in acute cellular rejection in liver allografts [PDF]
Eosinophils have a role in various allergic and inflammatory disease processes and participate in the process of acute rejection in solid organ allografts. Initial studies described the diagnostic value of eosinophils in kidney allograft rejection. Graft eosinophilia is a sensitive and specific marker of acute rejection in liver allografts and has been

Non-invasive monitoring of renal transplant recipients: Urinary excretion of soluble adhesion molecules and of the complement-split product C4d [PDF]
Background: The number of inducible adhesion molecules known to be involved in cell-mediated allograft rejection is still increasing. In addition, recent data describe complement activation during acute humoral allograft rejection.
