  • Title: [Experiences with plasmapheresis in the treatment of vascular rejection following kidney transplantation].
    Author: Eismann R, Konert J, Langkopf B.
    Journal: Z Urol Nephrol; 1990 Jan; 83(1):9-12. PubMed ID: 2330764.
    Abstract:
    In the first 6 weeks after kidney transplantation 15 patients suffering from vascular rejection were treated by 46 plasmapheres. In transplants with additional interstitial rejection the plasmapheresis was introduced after failure of ATG therapy. In 1 patient no histological confirmation was done. In 4 patients the plasmapheresis was successful and in 6 patients suffering from combined vascular and interstitial rejection the ATG therapy was successful only after initial plasmapheresis. In 4 cases the therapy failed to reverse rejection. The early use of plasmapheresis is recommended to obtain the best results.
