Scientists, patients with organ transplants discovered a new way to check if their body accepts the transplanted organ. Although this method uses biomarkers, positive results can be obtained in various transplants, such as kidney, liver, lung or heart transplants.
Under normal circumstances, there are different success rates for organ transplants. In the long term, this rate is 59% for lungs80% for the liver, 82% for the kidney and 73% for the heart. Rejection of organs can occur at any time after surgery and can be life-threatening.
In the future, incompatibility may be predicted before organs are transplanted
Scientists have found a way to determine whether a transplanted organ will be accepted by a patient that does not require methods such as a biopsy. statistician at the University of Sydney harry robertson The team he led analyzed 54 datasets, including 40 kidney, 5 lung, 5 liver, and 4 heart transplant studies. This analysis identified 158 different genes that were differentially expressed in rejection cases in four organs. This study will allow us to predict future organ incompatibility before it occurs.
