    Continuation of Immunosuppression Appears to Protect Against Allosensitization in Patients Listed for a Second Kidney Transplant.

    S. Kuppachi,1 M. Sanders,1 R. Kalil,1 Z. Stewart,2 C. Thomas.1

    1Internal Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; 2Transplant Surgery, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA

    Purpose: The current standard of practice after allograft loss is to discontinue immunosuppression (IS) to decrease complications related to prolonged exposure. There is a paucity…
