Serum bilirubin affects graft outcomes through UDP-glucuronosyltransferase sequence variation in kidney transplantation.

Serum bilirubin affects graft outcomes through UDP-glucuronosyltransferase sequence variation in kidney transplantation.

Oxidative stress is a major mediator of adverse outcome after kidney transplantation. Bilirubin is produced by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1), and has potential as an antioxidant. In this study, we investigated the effects of HO-1 and UGT1A1 sequence varia...
