Oxylipins such as isoprostanes (IsoPs), prostaglandins (PGs) and thromboxanes (TXs) are lipid mediators derived from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which regulate the magnitude of oxidative stress and inflammation processes and play an important role in pathophysiological processes in the kidney. A total of 36 oxylipins were analyzed by UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS in the urine of 41 renal recipients from cadaveric donors of the Nephrology Unit of the University Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca during the first six months after renal transplantation, in order to investigate several candidate oxylipins as more accurate and predictive biomarkers in renal transplantation than classical biological variables. A decrease in nine PGs, mostly from the AA-D pathway (p < 0.

Recurrence of idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a serious complication after kidney transplantation. FSGS relapse is suspected by a sudden increase in proteinuria but there is not an accurate noninvasive diagnostic tool to confirm this entity or to detect patients at risk. We aimed to validate the diagnostic performance of ApoA-Ib to detect FSGS relapses by measuring urinary ApoA-Ib in a retrospective cohort of 61 kidney transplanted patients (37 FSGS and 24 non-FSGS).

Background: In the first 2 years of grass tablet sublingual immunotherapy treatment, we have previously demonstrated a progressive development of a regulatory T-cell response, which was preceded by an early decrease in the frequency of both IL-4+ cells and sIgE levels. A progressive increase in sIgG levels and FAB blockage were also found.

Methods: By monitoring immunological kinetics during 3 years of active treatment + 2 years of follow-up, we aimed to identify key immunological parameters that could explain sustained clinical benefit of grass tablet sublingual immunotherapy.
