Graft rejection in pediatric penetrating keratoplasty: Clinical features and outcomes
Purpose: Early presentation of rejection facilitates early initiation of treatment which can favor a reversible rejection and better outcome. We analyzed the incidence, clinical features including rejection-treatment period and outcomes following graft ...

Acute graft rejection in a COVID-19 patient: Co-incidence or causal association?
A 32-year-old man with a clear and compact graft following a penetrating keratoplasty 6 years back, developed an episode of acute graft rejection, coinciding with the COVID-19 disease.

Immunosuppressants for the prophylaxis of corneal graft rejection after penetrating keratoplasty. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Penetrating keratoplasty is a corneal transplantation procedure in which a full-thickness cornea from the host is replaced by a graft from a donor.

Subclass analysis of donor HLA-specific IgG in antibody-incompatible renal transplantation reveals a significant association of IgG4 with rejection and graft failure [PDF]
Donor HLA-specific antibodies (DSAs) can cause rejection and graft loss after renal transplantation, but their levels measured by the current assays are not fully predictive of outcomes.

Machine learning methods to identify risk factors for corneal graft rejection in keratoconus [PDF]
Machine learning can be used to identify risk factors associated with graft rejection after corneal transplantation for keratoconus. The study included all keratoconus eyes that underwent primary corneal transplantation from 1994 to 2021.

Markers of acute rejection and graft acceptance in liver transplantation. [PDF]
The evaluation of the immunosuppression state in liver transplanted patients is crucial for a correct post-transplant management and a major step towards the personalisation of the immunosuppressive therapy.

Immunopathogenesis of corneal graft rejection. [PDF]
The most common cause of corneal graft failure is corneal graft rejection (CGR). Although cornea is one of the immune-privileged sites, it can still get a rejection episode due to a breach in its natural protective mechanism. Both anatomical and structural properties of cornea and anterior chamber contribute toward its immune tolerance.

Graft rejection in component keratoplasty. [PDF]
Among the various indications for keratoplasty, failed graft is one of the commonest indications in many published series. It is well known that the major cause of graft failure is endothelial rejection. In the last two decades, there has been a major paradigm shift in the surgical management of corneal diseases, and component keratoplasty has emerged ...
