Der ELISA-basierte Nachweis von C4d nach Lebertransplantation - ein hilfreicher Marker zur Differentialdiagnose zwischen akuter Abstoßung und rezidivierender Hepatitis-C-Infektion?
… improvements like immunosuppressive protocols. Rejection reactions are mostly treated by steroid-pulse therapy and/or increased doses of calcineurin-inhibitors. MMF and sirolimus are also state of the art in treatment of rejection reactions. However, acute rejection accounts for the majority of …

Cytokine Gene Expressions of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Acute Renal Allograft Rejection
… in immunosuppressive drugs, renal allograft rejection remains the main crucial determinant of the long term graft function and outcome. To solve this problem, there have been many efforts to explore the participation of cytokines and related gene expression in allograft rejection. Tissues …

Orthotopic liver transplantation at Groote Schuur Hospital : a serial analysis of biliary cytokines and biochemical parameters
… disease. Despite advances in immunosuppression, acute rejection remains common (up to 70%) and results in significant patient morbidity. It is frequently difficult to distinguish abnormal liver function due to rejection from that due to infection, biliary obstruction or ischaemic injury without …

Development of Novel Macrophage Imaging Agents
… a heterotopic cardiac transplantation model of acute rejection the tracer 99mTc-SER4 demonstrated enhanced targeting to the rejected organ, whilst following recovery to localised bone marrow radioablation preliminary data showed increased 64Cu-NOTASER4 in the ablated bone marrow. The tracers …

Exhaled breath analysis using laser absorption spectroscopy
… CO2. Exhaled OCS was evaluated as a marker of acute rejection in lung transplant recipients. A continuous wave thermoelectrically cooled quantum cascade laser at 5.47 microns coupled with off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (ICOS) was developed to simultaneously measure exhaled NO …

Genetic Variations in Interferon-Induced Genes and HCV Recurrence after Liver Transplantation
… genotypes was also found to correlate with acute rejection. These findings might help identify patients at high risk of developing complications within the first year.

Genetic aspects of outcome in kidney transplantation : cytokine and thrombosis associated candidate genes and gene expression biomarkers
… are given to prevent an immunological rejection of the transplant. However, immunosuppressive drugs increase e.g. the risk of infection, cancer or nephrotoxicity. A major genetic contributors to immunological acceptance of the graft are human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes. Also other …

Characteristics of organ donors and logistics of organ procurement for short- and long-term outcomes in abdominal organ transplantation
… such as graft survival, patients’ death, acute rejections, and delayed function, were evaluated by means of multivariable models. The analyses were adjusted for confounding factors. In the first study of kidney transplants, multivariable models showed that in both cohorts, longer intervals …
