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

The Banff schema incorporates a semiquantitative scoring system for grading of acute cellular rejection (ACR) of the liver allograft. The Banff rejection activity index (RAI) comprises 3 components scored from 0 to 3: venous endothelial inflammation (E); bile duct damage (B); and portal inflammation
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
