(9) The posttransplantation production of antibody could be due to either the transfusion of mature lymphocytes along with the marrow, the ability of the grafted immune system to produce alloantibodies, or the viable immunocompetent cells remaining despite high-dose chemotherapy and irradation.
(10) After the clinical case description, a possible explanation of this discrepancy is proposed: Schlegel and Gates' methods, which well correlate Ccr in chronic renal failure cases, in severe renal failure on obstructive basis, of recent onset, could not indicate the effective glomerular filtrate, but the nephronic mass, functionally blocked by the endocapsular hypertension secondary to the obstruction, but anatomically unaffected and so recoverable by a timely irradication of the obstruction.
