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 ...

The use of FK-506 for small intestine llotransplantation: Inhibition of acute rejection and prevention of fatal graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
Small intestine allotransplantation in humans is not yet feasible due to the failure of the current methods of immunosuppression. FK-506, a powerful new immunosuppressive agent that is synergistic with cyclosporine, allows long-term survival of ...

Transcriptional Perturbations in Graft Rejection [PDF]
Understanding the regulatory interplay of relevant microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in the rejecting allograft will result in a better understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of alloimmune injury.One hundred sixty-seven allograft biopsies, with (n = 47) and without (n = 120) central histology for Banff scored acute rejection (AR ...

Heparan sulfate is a plasma biomarker of acute cellular allograft rejection. [PDF]
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.

A clinicopathological study of human liver allograft recipients harboring preformed IgG lymphocytotoxic antibodies [PDF]
Twenty‐six adult patients with preformed IgG donor lymphocytotoxic antibodies received primary liver allografts under FK 506 immunosuppression. The effect of the crossmatch‐positive state on early graft function and on the immunopathological and ...
