Plasma protein C levels were significantly lower compared to patients without acute rejection at the time of rejection, specifically antibody mediated rejection [1,2]. In a parallel mammer Endothelial Protein C Receptor (EPCR) expression was found higher in tubules and arteries of rejection patients than in control patients [3] and activation of the inflammatory/coagulation cascades has been suggested in the pathogenesis of the rejection.
