T cells, but its not GVHD I guess, GVHD occurs when u transplant tissue w/ lymphocytes (BM, Spleeen, Thymus stc) .... I think its just graft rejection (HVGD) acute variety since the timeline is in weeks

in graft rejection you'd loose a kidney, but here are symptoms of GVHD...anyway,
T-cells is the key
