The most common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities (incidence >5% higher than comparator) are urinary tract infection, abdominal pain, hypertension, nausea, shortness of breath, fever, headache, anxiety, chills, increased potassium levels [thymoglobulin.com]
Flu-like symptoms such as chills, aches, nausea, cough, shortness of breath may also present. Rarely, patients report pain or swelling in the abdominal region, possibly accompanied by a fever. [news-medical.net]

- Hypertension
Hypertension, diabetes, and cancer (except possibly CNS tumors) in prospective living donors usually preclude kidney donation. [merckmanuals.com]
Approximately 50% of all renal transplant patients have hypertension. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Patient survival is 91% (10/11): 1 patient relocated out of state and was reported to have died from complications of hypertensive encephalopathy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Severe hypertension can cause fibrinoid necrosis of the small arteries and thrombosis of the glomerular capillary loops. [tpis.upmc.com]

- Kidney Failure
Kidney failure is not painful, even when severe, although there may be pain from damage to other systems. Some types of kidney failure cause fluid retention. However, severe dehydration (fluid deficiency) can also cause kidney failure. [emedicinehealth.com]
The purpose of this study is to see how effective 2 drugs, irbesartan and pravastatin, are at slowing kidney transplant failure. Many kidney transplant patients have some type of chronic rejection. [clinicaltrials.gov]
Kidney transplantation is still the best treatment for patients with kidney failure, but much more subtle approaches are needed if success rates are to be improved. [ox.ac.uk]
But for certain people with kidney failure, a kidney transplant may be more risky than dialysis. [mayoclinic.org]
Conclusion A kidney transplant is the most successful treatment for kidney failure, but there are no 100% guarantees. [kidneyresearchuk.org]
- Renal Injury
As DARC might be involved in the attraction of CCR5-positive cells, we studied the distribution of DARC and CCR5 in two forms of cell-mediated renal injury: renal allograft rejection and crescentic glomerulonephritis (cGN). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Anuria
Manifestations of Kidney Transplant Rejection by Category Rejection Category Manifestations Hyperacute Fever, anuria Accelerated Fever, oliguria, graft swelling and tenderness Acute Fever, increased serum creatinine, hypertension, weight gain, graft swelling [merckmanuals.com]
- Renal Insufficiency
One study indicated that diabetic candidates with renal insufficiency frequently have cardiovascular risk factors with a high likelihood of CAD. [12] In this study, angiographic findings of CAD were predictive of major adverse cardiac events. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Workup
Diagnostic Procedures A complete cardiac workup, including angiography, is not necessary in every patient. [emedicine.medscape.com]
A systematic approach can then be utilized to ensure that the vast majority of the possible complications are detected; particularly those that may require further diagnostic workup or surgical/radiologic intervention. [appliedradiology.com]
DSA testing should be performed during the workup of graft dysfunction when AMR is concerned. Routine screening for the development of de novo DSA may permit early detection of AMR in high risk patients [15]. [file.scirp.org]
Treatment
Thus, in association with ciclosporin-based regimens, enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium is a valuable treatment option for immunosuppressive prophylaxis in adult renal transplant recipients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
when compared to any other treatment for acute rejection were eligible for inclusion. [cochrane.org]
‘These are important findings which we hope will guide treatments in the future,’ said Professor Friend. [ox.ac.uk]
Prognosis
Our data also favor the independent influence of C4d expression on PTC on the late ATR prognosis. [omicsonline.org]
We propose that the presence of arterio-venous shunting suggests renal transplant rejection and may indicate a poor prognosis for reversal of this rejection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This combination of UCHL-1/PASH greatly improves the accuracy of diagnosing of acute cellular tubulointerstitial rejection and helps determine the therapeutic course and prognosis. back to top References: Brown ED, Chen MY, Wolfman NT, Ott DJ, Watson [sigmaaldrich.com]
Doppler ultrasonographic measurement of peak systolic and minimal end-diastolic flow in renal segmental arteries ≥ 3 mo after transplantation may help assess prognosis. [merckmanuals.com]
Etiology
Ongoing controversies regarding etiology, diagnosis, treatment Many aspects of etiology, diagnosis, and treatment are controversial. [clinicaladvisor.com]
The most common causes of renal disease leading to kidney transplantation are the following: Understanding the etiology of renal disease is important because the primary renal pathology may influence the outcome with respect to the propensity for recurrence [emedicine.medscape.com]
Renal vein thrombosis is more common than renal artery thrombosis and typically occurs between the third and eighth days post transplant (Figure 8). 18 Possible etiologies include poor surgical technique, compression of the renal vein by a fluid collection [appliedradiology.com]
Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, no evidence of any specific etiology (may include nonspecific vascular and glomerular sclerosis, but severity graded by tubulointerstitial features) I. [rrtjournal.biomedcentral.com]

Pathophysiology
Chronic rejection is the single most important cause of graft failure in the first posttransplant decade, but its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In conclusion, we suggest that in the setting of early acute and severe ABMR, the prompt and upfront administration of eculizumab has the potential to rapidly reverse the ongoing pathophysiological process of ABMR. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Pathophysiology The pathogenesis of antibody mediated rejection occurring within the first few days of transplantation is believed to be due to preformed antibodies reactive against donor antigens. [tpis.upmc.com]
Prevention
There was little or no benefit of muromonab-CD3 over ATG or ALG in reversing rejection, preventing subsequent rejection, or preventing graft loss or death. [cochrane.org]
The monoclonal antibody preparation Orthoclone OKT3 has proven as effective as the polyclonal preparation ALG to prevent or treat acute rejection episodes in the early post-transplant period. [mdedge.com]
