Abstract
We are the first to report that endothelial chimerism occurs significantly more often in female than in male recipients of renal transplants. Endothelial chimerism had no influence on graft outcome. We hypothesize that hormonal factors may influence the development of endothelial chimerism, in parallel with differences in endothelial function between males and females in cardiovascular disease.
