Diagnosis of Early Pancreas Graft Failure via Antibody‐Mediated Rejection: Single‐Center Experience With 256 Pancreas Transplantations
Early pancreas graft loss is usually attributed to technical failure while the possibility of antibody‐mediated rejection (AMR) is generally overlooked. To investigate the role of AMR in early pancreas graft loss, we retrospectively assessed 256 patients with simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplanta...

Zusammenfassung: | Early pancreas graft loss is usually attributed to technical failure while the possibility of antibody‐mediated rejection (AMR) is generally overlooked. To investigate the role of AMR in early pancreas graft loss, we retrospectively assessed 256 patients with simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplantation (SPK) between 1985 and 2010 at our institute. We included 33 SPK patients who lost their pancreas graft 1 month after transplantation in 6/7 cases, whereas all other causes typically led to loss |
