Late acute rejection after liver transplantation impacts patient survival

Clinical Transplantation

Abstract

Hepatic allograft rejection still remains an important problem following liver transplantation. Early acute rejection, occurring within three months of transplant, is a common event and usually of lesser significance with respect to prognosis than other non-immune-related post-transplant morbidities. However, little is known about late acute rejection (LAR) including factors affecting its occurrence and long-term outcome. In this study, we analyzed LAR including the incidence, clinical risk factors, patient survival, and graft survival. LAR was defined as acute cellular rejection later than six months after liver transplant. Adult patients who had a minimum of 24 months of graft survival were included in this study. A total of 1604 case records of consecutive adult patients (over age 18 yr) who underwent liver transplant between 1985 and 2003 were reviewed. Of the 1604 patients, 305 (19.0%) developed LAR. Patients with primary diagnoses of autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis had higher incidences of LAR, while patients with metabolic disease and retransplant had lower incidence of LAR (p = 0.0024). The LAR group had more female and younger recipients than the no LAR group (p = 0.0...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells causing the liver to be inflamed. Discover the latest research on autoimmune hepatitis here.

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.
