Histocompatibility ABO blood group Major histocompatibility complex (MHC): Class I antigens: HLA-A, HLA-B & HLA-C T lymphocytes Class II antigens: HLA-DR,HLA-DQ, HLA-DP B lymphocytes, activated T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages,dendritic cells &some endothelial cells
Classification of Rejection Hyperacute rejection: Immediately after renal revascularization Irreversible process Mediated by preformed circulating cytotoxic antibodies Accelerated rejection: Mediated by humoral and cellular components Within days to weeks Does not respond to antirejection therapy. Acute rejection (any time after transplantation) Chronic rejection: Gradual decline in renal function Interstitial fibrosis Vascular changes Minimal mononuclear cell infiltration

symptoms of acute kidney transplant rejection “the flu” accompanied by pain Enlarged kidney graft Hypertension Decreased urinary output Fluid retention Increased serum creatinine levels
Dx Needle biopsy of the kidney graft is the standard to confirm the diagnosis of acute rejection. Typical histologic findings of acute renal allograft rejection: Mononuclear cellular infiltration Tubulitis Vasculitis
