The Outcome of Tapered Steroid Regimen When Used to Treat Acute Borderline Cellular Rejection After Kidney Transplant: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Treatment of acute borderline cellular rejection (BCR) after kidney transplant has shown mixed results with no consensus on the necessity and modality of interventions.

Methods: The emphasis of our study was to assess the histopathologic response when BCR of kidney transplant is being treated with rapid steroid regimen. We analyzed all diagnosed acute BCR between 2018 and 2020.

The Impact of Different Induction Immunosuppressive Therapy on Long-Term Kidney Transplant Function When Measured by Iothalamate Clearance.

Background: Improvement in short-term outcomes after kidney transplant has been achieved by using different induction and maintenance therapeutic approaches. Long-term outcomes have not matched the expectations of the transplant stakeholders. Our study aimed to address the early impact of induction agents on long-term outcome of kidney transplant when measured by iothalamate clearance.
