ABSTRACT

El rechazo agudo subclínico al riñón trasplantado es el proceso de rechazo sin expresión clínica, aparece entre un tercio y la mitad de los pacientes que reciben trasplante renal, por lo general en los primeros 3 meses de postrasplante. En la actualidad, la principal causa de pérdida de riñones trasplantados es el rechazo crónico ya que a pesar del surgimiento de nuevos inmunosupresores y de la disminución del rechazo agudo no se ha logrado alcanzar un impacto significativo de la supervivencia del trasplante a largo plazo por causa de este rechazo. Se ha demostrado que existe estrecha asociación entre procesos de rechazo agudo subclínico y aparición de rechazo crónico por lo que cobra gran importancia la pesquisa de esta complicación en los pacientes que reciben trasplante renal.


The acute subclinical rejection of the tranasplanted kidney is the rejection process without clinical expression that appears between a third and a half of the patient undergoing renal transplant, generally in the first three months after the transplant. Nowadays, the main cause of the loss of transplanted kidneys is chronic rejection, since in spite of the appearance of new immunosuppressive drugs and the reduction of the acute rejection it has not been possible to achieve a significant impact of transplant survival on the long term because of this rejection. It has been proved that there is a close association between the subclinical acute rejection processes and the existence of chronic rejection. That's why, the screening of this complication is very important among patients receiving kidney transplant.
