ENHANCED GRANULYSIN mRNA EXPRESSION IN URINARY SEDIMENT IN EARLY AND DELAYED ACUTE RENAL ALLOGRAFT REJECTION

Background.Acute rejection (aRx) has a major impact on the long-term outcome of renal allografts, and its diagnosis is contingent on the invasive procedure of allograft biopsy. New immunosuppressive protocols have reduced the incidence but have not abolished this problem. Moreover, aRx is now more f
