Two-day steroid withdrawal in kidney transplant recipients did not affect BPAR, SCAR, CAN, graft function and patient and graft survival compared to control group up to 3 years. NODM was significantly less in steroid withdrawal group. Two-day steroid withdrawal is safe and beneficial in kidney transplant recipients.
Transplantation of kidneys from selected deceased donors with ARF provides comparable survival and function compared to kidneys from non-ARF donors and may be considered for transplantation to expand the donor pool to overcome the current acute shortage of kidneys.
One- and 2-year graft survival is comparable to other high-risk populations receiving kidney transplantation. One- and 2-year patient survival is higher than HIV patients maintained on dialysis. Immunosuppression does not adversely affect HIV recipients maintained on HAART in the short term.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
