High rate of acute rejections in renal allograft recipients with thrombophilic risk factors.

Abstract

Inherited and acquired thrombophilic disorders predispose patients for thromboembolic and probably other occlusive vascular events that occur when additional risk factors play in concert. Because acute rejections in renal transplant recipients may reflect vascular events, and an impairment of the fibrinolytic system in immunosuppressed patients has been previously described, the implications of genetic or acquired risk factors of thrombophilia for the occurrence of early acute rejections after kidney transplantation were evaluated. The following risk factors of thrombophilia were determined in 97 patients after cadaveric kidney transplantation: factor V Leiden mutation, protein S, protein C, and antithrombin deficiency. In a retrospective analysis, the prevalence of acute rejections, the histologic classification when rejection episodes had been confirmed by biopsy, and other vascular complications were evaluated. In 21 of the 97 patients, an inherited or acquired risk factor of thrombophilia was detected. Prevalence of acute rejections was 71% in the first 6 mo after transplantation in patients with a thrombophilic disorder and significantly higher compared with patients without thrombophilia (41%; P = 0.017). The distribution...Continue Reading

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.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
