Quality of life of liver transplant recipients. A pilot study.

abstract：:The carbohydrate antigens, blood groups A and B, and the alpha-gal epitope (Galalpha1-3Gal) are major risk factors in transplantation. Transplantation across ABO barriers may result in rejection by elicited anti-blood group antibodies, accommodation where elicited anti-blood group antibodies do not reject the graft, o...

abstract：:Living-donor liver transplantation has provided a solution to the severe lack of cadaveric grafts for the replacement of livers afflicted with end-stage cirrhosis, fulminant disease, or inborn errors of metabolism. The pioneering experience in Japan in the early 1990s helped open wide the avenues of a new branch of sc...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Deciphering the mechanisms of tolerance and chronic rejection (CR) remains a major goal in transplantation. Data in rodents suggest that Toll-like receptors (TLR), regulators of innate immune responses, play a role in determining graft outcome. However, few studies have focused on TLR expression in human kid...
