- Thymoglobulin induction therapy was evaluated in living-donor renal transplants to determine its effectiveness and safety, focusing on both living-related donors (LRD) and living-unrelated donors (LURD).
- A study analyzed 100 cases, revealing high 5-year patient survival (92%) and graft survival (83%), with similar outcomes in both donor types despite some differences in recipient characteristics.
- The therapy did not significantly increase risks of infections or malignancy and showed acceptable rates of acute rejection and delayed graft function between LRD and LURD patients.
