Abstract
Higher before and after transplant cytokine/chemokine levels were found in LTx recipients who subsequently had PGD grade 2 or more. Our study demonstrates that the recipient's inflammatory state at the time of LTx may impact early allograft function. That could represent a potential target for pretransplant pharmacologic intervention.
