  2. ABO-incompatible transplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO-incompatible...

    [2] [19] Adults are significantly likely to suffer from hyperacute rejection, [1] thrombosis, or death, but could be considered to be an acceptable risk if the alternative is death. [6] In the case of ABOi renal transplantation, aggressive antibody removal is required, along with supplemental medication, with the resulting condition being ...

  3. Transplant rejection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transplant_rejection

    Acute rejection is a category of rejection that occurs on the timescale of weeks to months, with most episodes occurring within the first 3 months to 1 year after transplantation. [ 6 ] [ 8 ] Unlike hyperacute rejection, acute rejection is thought to arise from two distinct immunological mechanisms as lymphocytes , a subset of white blood cells ...

  4. Allotransplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotransplantation

    As with many operations, allotransplantation risks some side effects. A limiting factor in tissue allotransplantation for reconstructive surgery deals with the side effects of immunosuppression (metabolic disorders, malignancies, opportunistic infections) which is a predominant issue. The risk of transmitting infection is high.

  5. Lung allocation score - Wikipedia

    The reason for this continuing analysis is the need to balance on one hand the desire to help those patients in direct need, versus the statistical likelihood of the patient to survive the procedure, as well as the post-operative risks of infection and transplant rejection. [2]

  6. Tissue transplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_transplantation

    [10] [28] Acute rejection arises within the first week to 6 months after transplantation and could be further categorised into acute humoral rejection or acute cellular rejection. [ 10 ] [ 28 ] Chronic rejection is the loss of graft function due to sustained immune response against the graft, leading to the functional loss of tissue graft from ...

    Transplant rejection is a serious condition and must be treated as soon as possible. Signs of rejection: [2] fever; flu-like symptoms, including chills, dizziness, nausea, general feeling of illness, night sweats; increased difficulty in breathing; worsening pulmonary test results; increased chest pain or tenderness;

  8. Banff Foundation for Allograft Pathology - Wikipedia

    Its predecessor group had organized transplant pathology meetings in every odd numbered year since 1991 [2] and the Foundation has specific future meeting plans through 2025. The meetings establish and maintain the worldwide standards for tissue biopsy reporting and diagnosis of transplant rejection through consensus decision making.

  9. Alloimmunity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloimmunity

    Alloimmunity (sometimes called isoimmunity) is an immune response to nonself antigens from members of the same species, which are called alloantigens or isoantigens.Two major types of alloantigens are blood group antigens [1] and histocompatibility antigens.
