Graft rejection Flashcards
Phase of rejection with preexisting antibodies and complement activation
Hyperacute rejection
Phase of rejection involving CD4, CD8, NK cells, and macrophages
Acute rejection
Phase of rejection with slow, progressive renal failure
Chronic rejection
Test for matching HLA antigens between donor and recipient
Tissue typing
Test for presence of preformed antibodies to donor HLA
Screening for preformed antibodies
Test to detect immune reaction between donor and recipient cells
Crossmatching
Type of graft most sensitive to rejection
Bone marrow and skin grafts
Rejection type with no therapy for prevention or termination
Hyperacute rejection
Rejection involving T cell-mediated attack on host MHC
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
Time frame for acute rejection
10-30 days
Time frame for chronic rejection
Months to years
Rejection with rapid kidney function loss
Acute rejection
Rejection with complement activation and platelet deposition
Hyperacute rejection
Phase of rejection with mixed humoral and cellular mechanisms
Chronic rejection
Phase of rejection occurring in days
Accelerated rejection
