Dilemmas in renal transplantation: when the clinical course and histological findings differ

Abstract

Histological examination of renal allograft tissue has become the accepted standard in diagnosing acute rejection. We present three cases of allograft dysfunction in which the histological findings and clinical course differed. Reliance on histology alone in therapeutic decision making might have resulted in inappropriate clinical interventions. In renal transplantation, biopsy results must always be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
