PAI-1 donor polymorphism influences long-term kidney graft survival.
BACKGROUND The type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) is involved in the development of fibrosis, and its intrarenal expression is increased in interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA). Moreover, a 4G/5G polymorphism of the PAI-1 gene has been described associating 4G haplotype with higher PAI-1 plasma activity. We investigated the relationship between the donor and recipient PA...
متن کاملDeceased-donor kidney transplantation: improvement in long-term survival.
BACKGROUND Despite marked improvement in short-term renal allograft survival rates (GSR) in recent years, improvement in long-term GSR remained elusive. METHODS We analysed the kidney transplant experience at our centre accrued over four decades to evaluate how short-term and long-term GSR had changed and to identify risk factors affecting graft survival. The study included 1476 adult recipie...
متن کاملKidney and recipient weight incompatibility reduces long-term graft survival.
Long-term function of kidney allografts depends on multiple variables, one of which may be the compatibility in size between the graft and the recipient. Here, we assessed the long-term consequences of the ratio of the weight of the kidney to the weight of the recipient (KwRw ratio) in a multicenter cohort of 1189 patients who received a transplant between 1995 and 2006. The graft filtration ra...
متن کاملClinical and histological predictors of long-term kidney graft survival.
Renal transplantation is the best option for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but its half-life is limited to a decade. Clinical and histological markers measurable within the first year of transplantation can be used to predict its outcome. These markers are important for selecting kidneys for transplantation, for identifying the main causes of late allograft loss, for therapeutic...
متن کاملDonor caveolin 1 (CAV1) genetic polymorphism influences graft function after renal transplantation
BACKGROUND Identification of the culprit genes underlying multifactorial diseases is one of the most important current challenges of molecular genetics. While recent advances in genomics research have accelerated the discovery of susceptibility genes, much remains to be learned about the functions of disease-associated genetic variants. Recently, Moore and co-workers identified, in the donor ge...
