Background Results from published studies on the association of donor or recipient TNF-A−
308G/A polymorphism with acute rejection (AR) of renal allograft are inconsistent. We …

BACKGROUND: Results from published studies on the association of donor or recipient IL-6–
174G/C (rs1800795) polymorphism with acute rejection (AR) of renal allograft are …

Rejection after kidney transplantation remains an important cause of allograft failure that
markedly impacts morbidity. Cytokines are a major player in rejection, and we, therefore …

Background Acute and chronic rejections remain an important cause of graft loss after renal
transplantation. It has been suggested that cytokine genotyping may have a predictive role …

This study was performed in order to evaluate the association of tumour necrosis factor‐α
(TNF‐α) and transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) gene polymorphisms with renal …

Acute rejection is a common phenomenon in transplantation. Inflammatory and anti-
inflammatory mediators affect the graft microenvironment. Th1 responses cause acute …

Cytokines are essential for the control of the immune response as most of the
immunosuppressive drugs target cytokine production or their action. The calcineurin …

Objectives Allograft outcome can be improved with the discovery of risk factors that influence
adverse events and may allow individualization of patients' treatment. Rejection is the main …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between interleukin (IL)-
10-1082 (G/A) promoter polymorphism and acute rejection (AR) in renal transplant …

Despite advances in immunosuppressive therapy in the past decade, allograft rejection
remains the primary cause for kidney graft failure. Cytokines are known to be important …
