Examining the Risk for Post-Transplant Viral Infections and Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD) in Kidney Transplant Patients (Pts) Receiving Calcineurin Inhibitor-Based Immunosuppression (CNI-IS) Compared to Belatacept (CTLA4Ig).
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction: CTLA4Ig is a novel IS agent that acts through costimulatory blockade of T-cells and obviates the need for CNI. Despite benefits in improving renal…2016 American Transplant Congress
The First Impressions: A Study in Pre and Post-Implantation Renal Grafts for Early Detection Markers of Delayed Graft Function and Recovery.
1UVA, Charlottesville; 2VCU, Charlottesville; 3Northwestern University, Chicago.
