Mycophenolate Mofetil Dose Reduction Are Associated with the Risk of Acute Rejection and Graft Failure After Renal Transplantation.
Background: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a highly effective immunosuppressive agent in transplant therapy. Although MMF is generally well tolerated, optimal therapy may be limited by…2016 American Transplant Congress
Factors and Outcomes Associated with Daptomycin Non-Susceptible Enterococcal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.
Background: Daptomycin non-susceptible enterococcal (DNSE) infections are associated with poor outcomes. Information regarding factors and outcomes of DNSE in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients (SOTR)…2016 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of a Risk-Stratified Induction Immunosuppression Protocol Utilizing Low-Dose Antithymocyte Globulin in Renal Transplantation.
Lower doses of rabbit-derived antithymocyte globulin (rATG) may result in less infection and cost, but may increase the incidence of acute rejection. We compared the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Safety and Efficacy of Low Dose and Very Low Dose Extended-Release Tacrolimus / MMF in De Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients
Recently, once-daily tacrolimus extended-release formulation (TACER) has been accepted in kidney transplantation, however its optimal dosing are not well evaluated. We have validated low dose…2015 American Transplant Congress
Thymoglobulin Dosing Efficacy: The Role of ALC on Infection and Rejection
