Analysis of ICAM-1 and HLA-DR expression on renal allograft aspirates
(Munksgaard Int Publ Ltd, 1996-08-01)ICAM-1 and HLA-DR expressions were studied on parenchymal cells obtained by aspirative biopsies of renal allografts. Patients were evaluated during 3 months after transplantation. Conventional cytology and immunoperoxidase ...

Molecular profiling improves diagnoses of rejection and infection in transplanted organs
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006-06-23)The monitoring of transplanted hearts is currently based on histological evaluation of endomyocardial biopsies, a method that is fairly insensitive and that does not always accurately discriminate between rejection and ...

Noninvasive immune monitoring assessed by flow cytometry and real time RT-PCR in urine of renal transplantation recipients
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-08-01)Background: Monitoring recipient's alloreactivity has shown to be critical for limiting overimmunosuppression besides allowing preemptive treatment of acute rejection (AR).Methods: Flow cytometry and real time RT-PCR were ...

An open randomized study comparing immunosuppression therapy initiated before or after kidney transplantation in haploidentical living recipients
(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004-08-01)Background: Acute rejection is the most important risk factor for graft survival. Although many centers start immunosuppressive therapy days before the surgery in living donors, there is no systematic study concerning the ...

An open-label randomized trial of the safety and efficacy of sirolimus vs. azathioprine in living related renal allograft recipients receiving cyclosporine and prednisone combination
(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004-02-01)Background: the ability of sirolimus (SRL), in combination with reduced exposure of cyclosporine, was investigated to prevent acute rejection and associated side effects.Methods: Between June 1999 and February 2000, 70 ...

Regional differences in the management and outcome of kidney transplantation in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection: A 3-year retrospective cohort study
(Wiley, 2017)Background: In the developed world, kidney transplantation (KT) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is well established. Developing countries concentrate 90% of the people living with HIV, but ...

Renal transplantation outcomes: a comparative analysis between elderly and younger recipients
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007-11-01)Renal transplantation is presently the best treatment for end-stage renal disease, although considered contraindicated for elderly patients. However, more investigation is needed due to higher life expectancy rates of the ...

Reproducibility of fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of acute rejection of renal allografts
(Oxford Univ Press United Kingdom, 1995-12-01)Background. Although it has been used as a diagnostic tool in many renal transplant centres the reproducibility of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has not been critically evaluated.Methods. In the present study material ...

Safety profile comparing azathioprine and mycophenolate in kidney transplant recipients receiving tacrolimus and corticosteroids
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-08-01)Background. Debate is increasing on whether mycophenolic acid (MPA) provides survival benefits comparable to azathioprine (AZA) after renal transplantation.Methods. This retrospective cohort study compared safety and ...

Tim-3 expression in human kidney allografts
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-04-01)Background: Tim-3 was recently described as a Th1-specific molecule, participating in the regulation of immune responses and in the induction of allograft tolerance. Here, we studied Tim-3 mRNA expression together with ...
