Abstract

Objectives: There are numerous changes in inflammatory status that occur after a kidney transplant. Pentraxin 3 is a marker of inflammation, but little information is available about pentraxin 3 levels after a kidney transplant. We evaluated the relation between pentraxin 3 and other inflammatory markers including high sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha in kidney transplant recipients.
