Accelerated human renal allograft rejection. 1975

C B Anderson, and W T Newton

A series of 125 renal transplants were analyzed in order to ascertain the characteristics of accelerated allograft rejection. An intense accelerated rejection could be identified within the first five days in 12 of 67 transplants (18%) with good immediate renal function. Accelerated rejection differed from the usual acute rejection reaction by higher fever, increased duration and intensity of the rejection, and increased difficulty in reversing the reaction. Accelerated rejection was reversible and associated with satisfactory renal function one year posttransplant in 58% of patients. Lymphocytotoxic and heterophil antibodies in preoperative serum and eluates of removed kidneys were not present. Contrary to recent reports, accelerated renal allograft rejection is a potentially reversible process and not necessarily due to humoral antibody presensitization.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006968	Hypersensitivity, Delayed	An increased reactivity to specific antigens mediated not by antibodies but by sensitized T CELLS.	Hypersensitivity, Tuberculin-Type,Hypersensitivity, Type IV,Tuberculin-Type Hypersensitivity,Type IV Hypersensitivity,Delayed Hypersensitivity,Delayed Hypersensitivities,Hypersensitivity, Tuberculin Type,Tuberculin Type Hypersensitivity,Tuberculin-Type Hypersensitivities,Type IV Hypersensitivities
D006969	Hypersensitivity, Immediate	Hypersensitivity reactions which occur within minutes of exposure to challenging antigen due to the release of histamine which follows the antigen-antibody reaction and causes smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability.

D007165	Immunosuppression Therapy	Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D006084	Graft Rejection	An immune response with both cellular and humoral components, directed against an allogeneic transplant, whose tissue antigens are not compatible with those of the recipient.

D006649	Histocompatibility Antigens	A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000906	Antibodies	Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D000917	Antibody Formation	The production of ANTIBODIES by proliferating and differentiated B-LYMPHOCYTES under stimulation by ANTIGENS.	Antibody Production,Antibody Response,Antibody Responses,Formation, Antibody,Production, Antibody,Response, Antibody,Responses, Antibody
D014181	Transplantation Immunology	A general term for the complex phenomena involved in allo- and xenograft rejection by a host and graft vs host reaction. Although the reactions involved in transplantation immunology are primarily thymus-dependent phenomena of cellular immunity, humoral factors also play a part in late rejection.
