Role of Immunosuppression Minimization Protocols in Renal Transplantation
The subject of transplant immunosuppression has generated significant interest in recent years. Excellent immunosuppression, advances in surgical technique, post-transplantation care, and infection control have resulted in excellent outcomes. There is widespread support for the notion that the fundamental objective in transplant immunology should be the achievement of specific graft toleran...
متن کاملUnusual pattern of dyslipidemia in children receiving steroid minimization immunosuppression after renal transplantation.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Corticosteroids are an important contributor to posttransplant hyperlipidemia. Since 2004, we have used a steroid minimization immunosuppression protocol. This study investigated the effect of steroid minimization on dyslipidemia in pediatric renal allograft recipients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Children (<18 years) who underwent renal transplants...
متن کاملAdvances in Pediatric Renal Transplantation
The science of kidney transplantation in children has advanced remarkably in the last 40 years [1, 2]. As kidney transplants in adult recipients were becoming more common with improving shortand long-term outcomes, results in children were lagging behind. This lag was attributed to multiple factors: greater surgical and technical problems in small children, different metabolism for needed drugs...
