1. Histological findings in “incidental” intraoperative pancreas allograft biopsies

Author

Drachenberg, C.B., Papadimitriou, J.C., Schweitzer, E., Philosophe, B., Foster, C., and Bartlett, S.T.

Subjects
*PANCREAS, *TRANSPLANTATION of organs, tissues, etc., *HOMOGRAFTS, *BIOPSY
Abstract

Thirty intraoperative needle core biopsies of well-functioning pancreas allografts were performed from 2 days to 7 years posttransplantation (mean 15.4 months). Most samples (83.3%) lacked significant inflammation or fibrosis. The five patients who showed features of ongoing low-grade acute rejection experienced premature graft losses due to chronic rejection. There were no complications related to the intraoperative biopsy itself. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

2. Improved outcome of polyoma virus allograft nephropathy with early biopsy

Author

Drachenberg, C.B., Papadimitriou, J.C., Wali, R., Nogueira, J., Mendley, S., Hirsch, H.H., Cangro, C.B., Klassen, D.K., Weir, M.R., Bartlett, S.T., and Ramos, E.

Subjects
*KIDNEY diseases, *HOMOGRAFTS, *IMMUNOSUPPRESSION, *ANTIVIRAL agents
Abstract

Polyoma virus allograft nephropathy often results in accelerated graft loss despite reduction of immunosuppression and/or treatment with antiviral agents. Irreversible renal fibrosis due to late diagnosis is likely to be one of the important causes of treatment failure. Early biopsy in 14 patients resulted in stable graft function after a mean follow-up of 22 months. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
