Many renal transplantation centers arbitrarily deny transplantation to patients with morbid obesity usually defined as body mass index > 35. We present a series of 173 primary renal transplant patients in a new transplant program that accepted all re

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and sirolimus impair wound healing. We compared sirolimus vs. MMF to determine the relative impact on surgical complications and wound healing in adult kidney transplant recipients. This retrospective, single center study

Background. Withdrawal of corticosteroids from the immunosuppressive regimens of kidney transplant recipients has been associated with an increased risk of acute and chronic allograft rejection. Previous studies indicate that the risk of rejection is

ABO-incompatible liver transplants (LTX) have been associated with a high risk of antibody-mediated rejection, poor patient and graft survival, and a high risk of vascular thrombosis and ischemic bile duct complications. We used pretransplantation an

Background. African American kidney transplant recipients generally exhibit poor long-term graft survival compared with other ethnic groups. The combination of sirolimus, tacrolimus, and corticosteroids has proven to be effective in reducing rejectio

Bone marrow progenitor cells develop into mature tissue myeloid cells under the influence of colony-stimulating factors. Cytokines that are elevated post-thermal injury have been shown to influence this process. We hypothesize that thermal injury alt

Dietary supplementation with arginine was previously found to enhance cardiac allograft survival in rats when given with a donor-specific transfusion and a short low-dose course of cyclosporine. This study was performed to determine further the role

BACKGROUND: Both laboratory and clinical studies have shown that dietary lipids may affect immunologic responses. This study was conducted to compare different classes of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids for their effect on allograft survival in an
