Background:
Acute cellular rejection (ACR) has a reversible effect on graft and its survival.
Objective:
To evaluate the relation between ACR and clinical factors in recipients of liver transplant allografts.
Methods:
47 consecutive liver recipients were retrospectively studied. Their data were extracted from records and analyzed.
Results:
38 (81%) of the 47 recipients experienced ACR during a 24-month follow-up. The rate of rejection was associated with none of the studied factors-recipient's blood group, sex, age, familial history of disease, drugs and blood products received, type of donor, and Child score and class.
Conclusion:
During a limited follow-up period, we did not find any association between ACR and suspected risk factors.

Independent and Dependent Sources
Independent voltage or current sources supply a fixed amount of voltage or current, respectively, which is unaffected by other elements within the circuit. These are represented using specific symbols. Independent voltage sources are symbolized with polarities (+ and -), indicating the direction of the...
