An acute rejection episode is the consequence of an im-. mune response of the host to destroy the graft. It is of. cellular (lymphocyte) and/or humoral (circulating antibody) origin. An acute rejection is clinically suspected in patients. experiencing an increase in serum creatinine, after the. exclusion of other causes of graft dysfunction (generally. with biopsy).
Although the newer generation of immunosuppressive drugs -- cyclosporin A, for example -- has improved the success rate during the initial rejection phase, the long-term survival of a functioning kidney is only around ten years because of ongoing rejection that chips away at the kidney's ability to perform adequately. Dr. Audrey K. Chun, MD, Geriatric Medicine, answered on behalf of The Mount Sinai Health System. With the use of current immunosuppressive medications the risk of sudden kidney rejection is low, and if it occurs it can be treated very effectively. Kidney transplants last relatively long.
