Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the use of Belatacept (Bela) in kidney transplant recipients undergoing early steroid withdrawal and avoiding calcineurin inhibitors, aiming to reduce nephrotoxicity and cardiovascular risk associated with long-term CNI use.
- - Out of 27 participants, those on the Bela+MPA regimen faced a high rate of biopsy-proven acute rejection, leading to the early closure of that group, while the Bela+low-dose Tac group showed improved kidney function compared to traditional Tac+MPA treatment.
- - Results suggest that maintaining low-dose Tac is essential to prevent rejection when transitioning to Bela in steroid-free regimens, particularly shortly after transplantation.
Objective: To assess the relative validity and repeatability of a sixty-four-item FFQ for estimating dietary intake of Zn and its absorption modifiers in Saudi adults. In addition, we used the FFQ to investigate the effect of age and gender on these intakes.
Design: To assess validity, all participants completed the FFQ (FFQ1) and a 3 d food record.
