Abstract:
Advances in immunosuppressive therapy over the past decade have led to dramatic improvements in graft survival. The immunosuppression that is used is center-dependent and is constantly evolving with the development of new medications. The goal remains to find the best combination that will optimize graft survival, while minimizing the adverse effects.
