Case description

An acute rejection is believed to occure more frequently in the retransplant patients group. Antibody-mediated rejection may have an adverse effect on graft outcome. Kidney retransplant is a best approach to treat patients with renal allograft failure that allows them to avoid the risk of morbidity and mortality, connected with a return to dialysis and it is now reported that 1-year graft survival rated for second kidney transplants approach those of primary transplantations. In order to eliminate the influence of donor type on the kidney transplantation results, only pairs of patients with common donor were included in the analysis which resulted in 33 pairs of patients, in which the control group stated primary graft recipients. The frequency of acute rejection during the follow-up period (2 years) was analysed.
