Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has been used to rescue liver allografts with steroid-resistant rejection (SRR). However, the long-term outcome of these patients is not known. This study evaluates the long-term outcome of MMF rescue therapy for SRR in pediatric liver allograft recipients. Twenty-six chi

Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are the cornerstone of immunosuppression after liver transplantation. However, CNI treatment is frequently associated with chronic renal failure (CRF). The reduction or interruption of CNI may reduce renal failure. We prospectively studied 49 liver recipients treated wi
Renal transplant recipients who are chronically immunosuppressed by drugs are at a higher risk of developing malignancies. Commonly observed malignancies are several forms of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), skin, lip and gynaecological cancers. The risk is associated with many r
To evaluate the impact of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on long-term outcomes of tacrolimus and corticosteroids, we analyzed data reported to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients for 11,670 adult patients (3463 with hepatitis C [HCV]) who underwent primary, single-organ, liver transplantat
The prevalence of renal insufficiency before and at 1, 12, and 60 months after liver transplantation (LTx; primary endpoint) and the changes in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at same time points according to the immunosuppressive regimen (coprimary endpoint) were investigated. The primary outc
