Does donor brain death influence acute vascular rejection in the kidney transplant?
Donor brain death could be a risk factor for the development of vascular rejection in kidney recipients. This process could affect the quality of the graft and host alloresponsiveness. Delayed graft function in transplants from dead brain donors could be a reflection of severe autonomic storm, leading to a higher incidence of vascular rejection in these patients.
These results support that loss of electrical anisotropy is a previously unrecognized feature of dystrophic muscle.
