Acute cellular rejection is common after orthotopic liver transplantation and an important cause of graft dysfunction. Eosinophils, potent mediators of tissue damage, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute rejection. We studied 55 patients, all of whom had a protocol biopsy 7 days after t

The occurrence of acute cellular rejection after orthotopic liver transplantation is common. At present, no allowance is made in immunosuppressive regimens for parameters other than weight. We investigated parameters in 121 consecutive patients receiving their primary allograft to determine if there

This case report correlates impaired cyclosporine absorption from the traditional oral formulation in a 9-year-old liver transplant recipient with subsequent acute allograft rejection. Although impaired absorption in this patient was documented by cyclosporine pharmacokinetic profiling (steadystate
Acute cellular rejection of the allograft is a potentially serious complication after liver transplantation, yet its true incidence is unknown. We therefore investigated the frequency of acute cellular rejection reported by transplant centers and its impact on morbidity and mortality. Morbidity was
