Complications of Post-Transplant Immunosuppression
Transplantation is one of the revolutionary fields in modern medicine that has saved thou‐ sands of lives. The continuous refinement of surgical techniques and the availability of potent immunosuppressive drugs have made transplantation the most effective treatment option for patients with end stage organ failure. Over 25 000 organ transplants are performed in the USA each year and survival rat...
متن کاملImmunosuppression and the risk of post-transplant malignancy among cadaveric first kidney transplant recipients.
The success of renal transplantation may be counterbalanced by serious adverse medical events. The effect of immunosuppression on the incidence of de novo neoplasms among kidney recipients should be monitored continuously. Using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we studied the association of induction therapy by immunosuppression with antilymphocyte antibodies, with th...
متن کاملCessation of immunosuppression during chemotherapy for post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders in renal transplant patients.
BACKGROUND The optimal reduction of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in renal transplant patients with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) is uncertain. As chemotherapy is immunosuppressive, IST may be stopped during this time without compromising graft function. Subsequent long-term reduction of IST reduces relapse risk, but may increase risk of graft rejection. METHODS We p...
متن کاملImmunosuppression minimization: current and future trends in transplant immunosuppression.
The past decade has witnessed unprecedented advances in renal transplantation propelled by novel and effective immunosuppression drugs. The introduction of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), tacrolimus, cyclosporine microemulsion, sirolimus, a new generation of monoclonal antibodies (the anti–interleukin-2 receptor blockers, daclizumab and basiliximab), and the depleting polyclonal biologic Thymoglob...
متن کاملGastrointestinal complications of transplant immunosuppression.
At a time when the judicious use of a broad range of immunosuppressive drugs has ensured excellent patient and organ survival rates after kidney transplantation, attention is focusing on strategies to minimize their side effects. Almost all immunosuppressive medications are associated with some form of gastrointestinal (GI) complication (1–6). The majority of these complications fall into one o...
