*Purpose: Recurrent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection occurs in 30-35% of kidney transplant recipients after completion of treatment and/or preemptive therapy. There is no consensus on the…2019 American Transplant Congress
Polymorphisms in Mycophenolate Mofetil Glucuronidation Gene Are Associated with Leukopenia and Decreased CLAD-Free Survival
UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: Lung transplant recipients vary in their tolerance of the immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) increase conversion of…2019 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Mycophenolate Mofetil Exposure in Renal Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is the most commonly prescribed immunosuppressant following transplantation in the United States. However, the occurrence of MMF therapy-related adverse events including…2019 American Transplant Congress
