Tacrolimus Trough Concentrations Increase in Intestinal Transplant Recipients During Episodes of Acute Cellular Rejection
Introduction: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) in small bowel transplant recipients is expected to increase intestinal permeability and to reduce intestinal CYP3A/p-glycoprotein activity. These changes may…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immunodeficiency Assessment in Pediatric Intestinal Failure Patients
Intestinal failure (IF) is a clinical condition for which intestinal transplantation may be indicated. Patients without enteral autonomy have an increased risk of malnutrition which…2015 American Transplant Congress
