[Behavior of fibrinogen-split-product-E in fibrinuria following allogeneic kidney transplantation (author's transl)]. 1975

V Zühlke, and M Hölscher, and G Pernice

80 urine samples from 10 kidney grafted patients were immunologically analyzed for detection of fibrin degradation products by various techniques. Split product E, which was quantitatively determined by two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis only contributes to a minor part to fibrinuria, but increases significantly during periods of severe acute rejection also during the first 2-3 weeks, when overall fibrinuria is not a useful indicator of impending rejection. Determination of split-product E therefore seems to be a valuable diagnostic procedure.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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.

D009393	Nephritis	Inflammation of any part of the KIDNEY.	Nephritides
D001806	Blood Urea Nitrogen	The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.

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.

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
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.	Immunology, Transplantation
