| Popis: | Pathologic descriptions of allograft rejection of all solid organs have long recognized vascular involvement in the rejection process. Renal allografts, the earliest allografts to be studied. commonly display vasculitis involving the arteries and arterioles of the kidney cortex with or without cellular infiltrates invading tubules[1]–[3]. This vascular inflammatory process, often termed acute vascular rejection, is frequently associated with allograft loss in spite of increased immunosuppressive therapy[2],[3]. Similarly, arteritis has been identified in cardiac allografts on endomyocardial biopsy, and has been associated with poor allograft survival[4],[5]. |
