Elevated Terminal C5b-9 Complement Complex 10 Weeks Post Kidney Transplantation Was Associated With Reduced Long-Term Patient and Kidney Graft Survival
Witczak, Bartlomiej J; Pischke, Søren E.; Reisæter, Anna V.; Midtvedt, Karsten; Ludviksen, Judith K; Heldal, Kristian; Jenssen, Trond; Hartmann, Anders; Åsberg, Anders; Mollnes, Tom E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: The major reason for graft loss is chronic tissue damage, as interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA), where complement activation may serve as a mediator. The association of complement activation in ... -
Inflammation in the early phase after kidney transplantation is associated with increased long-term all-cause mortality
Heldal, Torbjørn Fossum; Åsberg, Anders; Ueland, Thor; Reisæter, Anna Varberg; Pischke, Søren Erik; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Aukrust, Pål; Hartmann, Anders; Heldal, Kristian; Jenssen, Trond (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In the general population low-grade inflammation has been established as a risk factor for all-cause mortality. We hypothesized that an inflammatory milieu beyond the time of recovery from the surgical trauma could be ... -
