Abstract
A total of 50 biopsies from 42 renal transplants obtained during a 30-month period were studied for the presence of monocytes in the glomeruli using the non-specific esterase reaction. Eleven biopsies from ten grafts were positive. Immune deposition was light or absent. The prognosis for the grafts containing glomerular monocytes was significantly worse during the six months after the biopsy than for those without such cells present.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
