Eosinophilia in patient with acute cellular rejection after liver transplantation--case presentation and literature overview.

Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is still an important problem affecting patients after liver transplantation. Early diagnosis is necessary for initiate treatment, but there are not simple, noninvasive methods to confirm the diagnosis, and up to now, the gold standard in the evaluation of ACR is liver biopsy. The blood eosinophilia seems to be a promising tool supporting the diagnosis and monitor...

Identification of Novel and Noninvasive Biomarkers of Acute Cellular Rejection After Liver Transplantation by Protein Microarray

BACKGROUND Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is one of the main factors in transplanted organ failure in liver transplantation. A precise marker for diagnosing or predicting rejection is not currently available; therefore, invasive liver biopsy is standard procedure. To develop a noninvasive method for precise diagnosis of ACR, we evaluated autoantibodies from patient sera as potential biomarkers ...

Interleukin-28B rs12979860 C/T Polymorphism and Acute Cellular Rejection after Liver Transplantation

BACKGROUND Interleukin-28 (IL-28B) rs12979860 C/T polymorphism is a known predictor of sustained virological response after antiviral treatment in hepatitis C. IL-28B affects the innate immune system as well as intrahepatic expression level of interferon-stimulated genes. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of recipient IL-28B polymorphism on occurrence of acute rejection after liver transpla...
