Corneal graft rejection is a major cause of transplant failure. Understanding its immune process is key to preventing and managing rejection, improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology
  • Transplantation Science

Background:

  • Penetrating keratoplasty is the most common human transplant.
  • Immune rejection of corneal allografts is a primary cause of graft failure.
  • Rejection can cause significant damage despite immunosuppression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the immunopathogenesis of corneal graft rejection.
  • To highlight the importance of prevention and management strategies.
  • To emphasize the need for new therapeutic approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on corneal graft rejection.
  • Analysis of immune response cascades in allograft rejection.
  • Discussion of donor and host risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Corneal graft rejection involves complex immune responses to foreign antigens.
  • Various types of rejection exist: epithelial, stromal, hyperacute, and endothelial.
  • Risk factors include donor and recipient characteristics.

Conclusions:

  • Effective prevention involves recipient selection, donor tissue management, and surgical technique.
  • Management relies on early detection and aggressive corticosteroid therapy.
  • Further research into pharmacological interventions and guidelines is needed.
