Hyperuricemia Is a Mediator of Endothelial Dysfunction and Inflammation in Renal Allograft Recipients
Transplantation Proceedings, 10/30/2009
|
Karbowska A et al. – Hyperuricemia is common in renal transplant recipients treated with calcineurin inhibitors. Uric acid induces glomerular hypertension, microvascular disease, and renal ... which uric acid injures renal allografts and the cardiovascular system remain unclear. Hyperuricemia mediates endothelial dysfunction and inflammation and via this pathway, possibly contributes to chronic allograft injury and cardiovascular events in renal allograft recipients.

Monocytes/macrophages in renal allograft rejection
Transplantation Reviews, 10/01/2009
|
Magil AB – The recent demonstration that peritubular capillary deposition of complement split factor C4d, a marker for antibody–mediated rejection, is associated with relatively marked MO infiltration of the allograft during acute rejection is a ... development in our understanding of the role of the MO in rejection. High levels of MO in rejecting allografts have been associated with severe rejection, and glomerular MO infiltration in particular has been shown to be an indicator of poor graft outcome.

Long-term Clinical Outcome of Open Meniscal Allograft Transplantation
American Journal of Sports Medicine, 11/12/2009
|
Wal RJPVD et al. – Long–term follow–up results show that meniscal allograft transplantation is a beneficial procedure. Good improvements in clinical function and pain relief have been shown at short–term ... term follow–up but not at a high level. As such, meniscal allograft transplantation is a good salvage option for the treatment of degenerative arthritis of the symptomatic post–meniscectomized knee. Meniscal allograft transplantation can be used to postpone total knee arthroplasty in
