The use of split-liver (SL) allografts continues to be an excellent option for many pediatric recipients. Patient and graft survival with this graft type are comparable to patient and graft survival with whole organ grafts. Quality-of-life issues, specifically growth, for SL recipients have not been

Sirolimus (rapamycin, RAPA, Rapamuneβ’) is a potent immunosuppressive agent currently being investigated for prophylaxis against acute rejection episodes in renal transplant recipients. In the present study, stable renal allograft recipients under maintenance therapy with RAPA and cyclosporine (CsA)
S trategies to minimize the long-term side effects of immunosuppression in liver transplant recipients have included the uniform reduction of all agents in double-or triple-therapy regimens, selective discontinuation of individual agents of such regimens, and the complete withdrawal of all long-term
De novo cancers occurred after transplantation in 8,008 organ allograft recipients, who developed 8,531 different types of malignancy. Three hundred twenty-four liver recipients developed 329 cancers. There were striking differences in the patterns of neoplasms observed when these were compared with
Renal allograft recipients were shown to have an increased incidence of warts and skin cancers. We examined 148 patients for evidence of wart virus infections and tested for papillomavirus types, which are known to be associated with human malignancies. Of the 148, 36 (24.3%) patients were afflicted
