Circulating endothelial cells transiently increase in peripheral blood after kidney transplantation

Abstract The diagnosis of kidney allograft rejection is based on late histological and clinical markers. Early, specific and minimally-invasive biomarkers may improve rejection diagnosis. Endothelial cells (EC) are one of the earliest targets in kidney transplant rejection. We investigated whether c...
