ORTIZ, Melissa Andrea et al. Immunological follow-up of patients with renal transplants: A proposal for clinical practice in Colombia. Biomed. [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.3, pp.479-486.  Epub 30-Jun-2020. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.5092.

Graft damage is a process that starts at the moment of transplantation, due to comorbidities of receptor, donor status, ischemia time, ischemia-reperfusion phenomenon, among others, those induce metabolic and immune factors that ultimately trigger clinical manifestations of graft dysfunction. However, the preclinical progression between the time of transplantation and the appearance of signs and symptoms of graft damage can take weeks to years. Therefore, the implementation of rational monitoring approaches during the posttransplantation period is critical and should include not only the clinical follow-up but also anticipate immunological graft damage. In the present essay, we propose an immunological monitoring algorithm for the post-renal transplantation period.
