Article Synopsis
- Chemokines and their receptors are important in immunity and inflammation, and this study investigates their impact on kidney transplant rejection.
- The study involved 100 donor-recipient pairs, evaluating two gene polymorphisms, CCR2-V64I and CCR5-Delta32, using genetic testing methods but found no significant relationships to acute rejection (AR) or delayed graft function (DGF).
- Although no strong associations were found between the gene polymorphisms and transplant outcomes, factors like the cause of kidney failure and donor-recipient sex matching showed weak links to AR and DGF, highlighting the importance of considering these in transplant situations.
