Abstract
Platelets seem to participate in nearly all types of kidney transplant rejection, but the degree of involvement differs considerably. Peracute (hyperacute) rejection starts with an aggression of the host’s performed antibodies on the endothelial layer of graft vessels. This severe damage induces platelet deposition followed by the formation of a fibrin network (1). The rapidly ongoing process ends within minutes or hours in a total thrombosis of the transplant.
