Evolution of sCD40 levels in serum of kidney transplant recipients after the graft. Serum and urine sCD40 levels, and creatininemia were measured longitudinally in nine kidney recipients just before and for 3 months after transplantation. All patients recovered normal kidney function at day 11 (mean ± SD = 11·4 ± 7·2 days) as showed by normal creatininemia values. sCD40 levels from one representative patient (a), and before or at day 20 after transplantation for all patients (b). sCD40 levels in urine (○) and serum (•), and creatininemia (□) from one representative patient (c).
