Abstract
The incidence of intraglomerular thrombi in renal allografts and factors regulating their resolution were studied. Resolution of intraglomerular thrombi is reported. Also 17 transplanted patients with renal biopsies were serially studied. Intraglomerular thrombi were found in 4 of 8 specimens taken 1 h after reanastamosis, all from donors with a terminal course involving prolonged hypotension. Glomerular fibrinolytic activity was markedly diminished in 4 of 11 patients'' subsequent biopsy specimens; all taken during acute rejection. Resolution of thrombi was documented when signs of rejection were absent.
