✦ Synopsis

Key Points

(1) Immunosuppression is responsible for excellent patient outcomes.

(2) Immunosuppression withdrawal fails in most patients.

(3) Patients who may benefit from immunosuppression withdrawal cannot currently be identified. ( 4) No data suggest that immunosuppression withdrawal decreases patient morbidity (ie, nephrotoxicity).

(5) The minimization of immunosuppression instead of withdrawal may be adequate for improving patient outcomes.
