Fourteen episodes of acute rejection occurred during the first 3 months post-operatively. These were diagnosed by the demonstration of graft tenderness, fever without evidence of infection and a rise in serum creatinine of 1 mg\/dl in the absence of urinary or vascular obstruction.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Five rejection episodes in 3 patients were associated with a fall in C3. In one of these patients, C3 returned to normal levels after the episode was reversed, and the kidney is functioning well 2 years after transplantation. In the other 2 patients, C3 remained at low levels regardless of anti-rejection therapy. Transplant nephrectomy was soon required for irreversible rejection. In contrast, only 1 episode unaccompanied by a fall in C3 was irreversible.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Evidence is provided concerning the value of serial C3 complement determinations as a predictor of rejection in renal allografts. Using the variability measure si, the cumulated standard deviation up to week i, si &amp;gt; 10 not only predicts rejection but does so rather early, providing more than 90 per cent of the ideal lead time. This suggests that loss of a graft may be predicted, but this needs confirmation in additional cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800670716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,2]],"date-time":"2007-03-02T20:02:30Z","timestamp":1172865750000},"page":"500-502","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Predictive value of serum complement (C3) in renal allograft rejection"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Prem","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biometry, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dankward","family":"Kodlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biometry, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles","family":"Marks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biometry, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen H","family":"Leech","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biometry, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Medicine, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Louisiana State University Medical Center , 1542 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70112,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1980,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024092710060610400_bib1","first-page":"229","article-title":"The early diagnosis of renal allograft rejection in man","volume":"5","author":"Carpenter","year":"1975","journal-title":"Adv.
