Circulating donor-derived cell-free DNA as a marker for rejection after lung transplantation
ObjectiveRecently, circulating donor-derive cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has gained growing attention in the field of solid organ transplantation. The aim of the study was to analyze circulating dd-cfDNA levels in graft rejection, ACR and AMR separately for ...

Estudio de los polimorfismos de los genes transforming growth factor-beta-1, enzima de conversión de la angiotensina, y Par1/Emk1 como marcadores moleculares para el diagnóstico precoz de la nefropatía crónica del transplante. [PDF]
[spa] La nefropatía crónica del transplante (NCT) es una enfermedad degenerativa caracterizada por el depósito de matriz extracelular. Aunque su patogenia es desconocida se ha sugerido que en ella participa el "transforming growth" factor-beta1 (TGF ...

The impact of early acute rejection on kidney graft survival after repeat kidney transplantation
Introduction. Despite the improvements in immunosuppressive therapy, the growing number of repeat kidney transplantations and associated risks of acute rejection make it relevant to assess the impact of early acute rejection on a long-term kidney graft ...

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.

Reduced CD40L expression on ex vivo activated CD4+T-lymphocytes from patients with excellent renal allograft function measured with a rapid whole blood flow cytometry procedure [PDF]
Background: The CD40-CD40L (CD154) costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of kidney allograft rejection. In renal transplant biopsies, CD4+ CD40L+ graft-infiltrating cells were detected during chronic rejection in contrast to ...
