Drug-Drug Interaction Between Cannabidiol, Cyclosporine, and Mycophenolate Mofetil: A Case Report.

Kidney transplantation remains the optimal therapy for many patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Chronic pain is one of the most common and distressing symptoms among patients with ESKD, and its treatment is a complex and challenging task to accomplish. The benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) in chronic pain treatment have been reported recently.

Low switched memory B cells are associated with no humoral response after SARS-CoV-2 vaccine boosters in kidney transplant recipients.

Introduction: The humoral response after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and boosters in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is heterogeneous and depends on immunosuppression status. There is no validated immune measurement associated with serological response in clinical practice. Multicolor flow cytometric immunophenotyping could be useful for measuring immune response.

Comparison of antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 after two doses of inactivated virus and BNT162b2 mRNA vaccines in kidney transplant.

Background: Antibody response against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) after mRNA or adenoviral vector-based vaccines is weak in kidney transplant (KT) patients. However, few studies have focused on humoral response after inactivated virus-based vaccines in KT. Here, we compare antibody response following vaccination with inactivated virus (CoronaVac®) and BNT162b2 mRNA.
