[Does acute graft rejection modify subsequent function of a transplanted liver?].
While in kidney, heart and pancreas transplantation the impairment of graft function associated with acute rejection is only partially reversible upon successful antirejection therapy, little is known about the effect of acute rejection on late graft function after liver transplantation. Our data however gives similar findings in regards to conventional and quantitative liver function tests in patients with or without acute rejection more than 12 months after liver transplantation. This may most likely be attributable to the unique regeneration potential of the adult human liver.
