Early severe renal allograft rejection. 1976

T V Berne, and L A Gustafsson, and S N Chatterjee

An early, severe form of renal allograft rejection, occuring after an initial day or more of good function and within the first week after transplantation, is an increasingly recognized phenomenon. This type of rejection occurred in 17 of 187 (9%) postmortem-donor renal transplants. It could only be reversed in four grafts, and two of these failed because of recurrent rejection within four months. No clinical observations were helpful in determining which cases were likely to respond to antirejection therapy. Of the 17 patients, four died. Because of the poor graft survival and the high mortality, attempts to treat early severe rejection may not be warranted.

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.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.

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.

According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen.
