Transplantation is the ultimate therapy for end-stage kidney disease. Early graft dysfunction is a devastating event to patients and carries risk of graft loss. Medical causes of early graft loss include graft rejection, drug toxicity, and thrombotic microangiopathy.

Thymoglobulin successfully reversed vascular rejection and thrombotic microangiopathy associated with half dosing of calcineurin inhibitors.
