Derivation and Validation of a Cytokine-Based Assay to Screen for Acute Rejection in Renal Transplant Recipients
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 06/12/2012
De Serres SA et al. – Secondary analyses revealed a strong association between IL–6 levels and acute rejection after multivariate adjustment for clinical characteristics. In this pilot study, the measurement of a single cytokine can exclude acute rejection with a sensitivity of 92% in renal transplant recipients presenting with acute graft dysfunction.
