Local renal complement C3 induction by donor brain death is associated with reduced renal allograft function after transplantation.
BACKGROUND: Kidneys derived from brain-dead donors have inferior outcomes after transplantation compared to kidneys from living donors. Strikingly, early and profound serum levels of IL-6 in brain-dead donors are observed. IL-6 is the main regulator of the acute phase response (APR). The aim of thi...
