Immunological factors influencing liver graft survival.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Donor-recipient ABO blood group mismatching is associated with a decreased graft survival rate in liver transplantation. We have been unable to demonstrate an effect of high levels of panel reactive antibody or a positive donor-specific cytotoxic antibody cross-match on graft survival. A limited analysis of HLA-matching for the A, B, and DR loci suggests a paradoxical effect, but much more experience is needed before the true effect of HLA matching on graft outcome can be reliably evaluated.

Evaluation of Factors Influencing Liver Function Test in On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Background: Liver dysfunction during on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a rare complication but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The ability to identify high-risk patients may be helpful in planning appropriate management strategies. We aimed to evaluate the factors influencing liver function tests during on-pump CABG.Methods: In 146 patients scheduled...
متن کاملImprovement of nephrotoxicity, hypertension, and lipid metabolism after conversion of kidney transplant recipients from cyclosporine to tacrolimus.
AFTER cyclosporine (CyA) was introduced as an immunosuppressant in organ transplantation in 1978, the 1-year graft survival rates of patients undergoing liver, kidney, or heart transplantation were improved by about 20%. Since the middle of 1985, CyA-based primary immunosuppression has been used in nearly all transplantation centers in Europe and in the United States. Despite improved 1-year gr...

متن کاملPreventing renal transplant failure.
INTRODUCTION Allograft failure due to immunological or non-immunological causes or a combination and patient death after transplantation are the 2 major causes of renal transplant loss. This paper reviews the various causes of allograft failure and explores strategies for its prevention. RESULTS Immune mechanisms of renal allograft failure are those mediated by acute and chronic rejection and...
