Graft Rejection

Transplantation Rejection

This unique presentation of bilateral graft edema following microsporidial keratoconjunctivitis in postgraft patients requires a high index of suspicion as it can be easily be mistaken for and mismanaged as acute graft rejection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the so-called indirect pathway of allorecognition, recipient T lymphocytes recognize antigens of the graft donor after they are presented by the recipient’s own antigen-presenting cells. [humpath.com]

  • Splenomegaly

    His clinical course had been uneventful until day 60, when splenomegaly reappeared. Hepatic dysfunction developed on day 75. Recipient-type hematopoiesis increased to 51% on day 90. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Conjunctival Hyperemia

    Within 2 weeks, the patient complained of conjunctival hyperemia and irritation. Biomicroscopic examination revealed conjunctival and subconjunctival necrosis with white necrotic tissue at the subconjunctival corticosteroid injection site. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Neglect

    The heterogeneity of the monocyte/macrophage lineage cells could be one of the reasons why these cells have been neglected up to now. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • HLA-B27

    The CD3 CD4 and CD3 CD8 bulk culture was cloned, resulting in 50 HLA-B7 restricted CD3 CD4-CD8 CTL clones, three HLA-B27 restricted CD3 CD4-CD8 CTL clones, one HLA-DR2 restricted CD3 CD4 CD8-CTL clone and two additional HLA class II restricted CD3 CD4 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • HLA-DR2

    The CD3 CD4 and CD3 CD8 bulk culture was cloned, resulting in 50 HLA-B7 restricted CD3 CD4-CD8 CTL clones, three HLA-B27 restricted CD3 CD4-CD8 CTL clones, one HLA-DR2 restricted CD3 CD4 CD8-CTL clone and two additional HLA class II restricted CD3 CD4 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • HLA-B7

    The CTL line and the HLA-B7 restricted CD8 CTL clone, but not the HLA class II restricted CD4 CTL clone, inhibited the growth of donor hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSIONS: Prednisolone remains the treatment of choice for management and treatment of graft rejection; however, since the introduction of difluprednate, its use has declined slightly since the introduction of difluprednate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In our patient, the prophylactic use of LAT from HLA-matched donors and AMT before PK, may result in a better prognosis of corneal graft survival. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Graft rejection/failure is often a life-threatening complication. [clinicaladvisor.com]

When the organ donor is not the recipient themselves or a genetically identical twin, the immune response to the new organ becomes extremely important to prognosis. [stomponstep1.com]

AR-CGI rendering serum PARP1 as a biomarker for early prognosis. [omicsonline.org]

An infectious etiology was suspected and in vivo confocal microscopy ordered, which revealed hyperreflective dots, highly suggestive of microsporidial spores. The patient was prescribed topical fluconazole 0.3% in both eyes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this study, we attempted to identify candidate serum biomarkers that could predict kidney allograft rejection/injury, regardless of its etiological and therapeutic heterogeneity. [omicsonline.org]

Epidemiology Graft failure/rejection occurs in The risk of rejection increases in patients sensitized presumably to HLA antigens by prior blood transfusion or even pregnancy. [clinicaladvisor.com]

CORTES Study Group Risk factors for graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty: 5-year follow-up from the corneal transplant epidemiological study. Cornea. 2011;Dec;30(12): 1328–35. pmid:21926910 View Article PubMed/NCBI Google Scholar 5. [journals.plos.org]

Pathophysiology Graft rejection is a major cause of graft failure and is due to an immune response of residual post immune cells against donor hematopoietic cells. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Acute rejection can be classified according to pathophysiological changes (cellular‐interstitial, vascular, antibody‐endothelial) or underlying immunologic mechanisms (adaptive or innate immune injury) or severity (histologic injury graded by the Banff [els.net]

Panel B shows possible interactions between the major identified marker PARP1 and its multiple interacting partners that can be related to the graft pathophysiology (PARP1, MAPK1 and NFATC1 highlighted). [omicsonline.org]

“Both prevention and treatment of graft rejection are correlated with the patient’s risk category,” Dr. Mastropasqua said. “Topical steroids prevent allograft rejection by inhibiting leukocyte migration into the cornea. [healio.com]

The use of various immunosuppressants to prevent graft rejection, the most common cause of graft failure in the late postoperative period, is increasing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Alexion is investigating Soliris for the prevention of acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) in kidney transplant recipients, and for the prevention of delayed graft function (DGF) in patients receiving deceased donor kidney transplants. [news.alexionpharma.com]
