Popis: Personalization of maintenance immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients has long remained a goal in the transplant community. The recent addition of donor-derived cell-free DNA assays to detect allograft rejection and monitor allograft health may permit for reductions in maintenance immunosuppression in recipients with stable levels. Herein, we described 5 patients with stable donor-derived cell-free DNA levels who underwent reduction in maintenance immunosuppression without precipitation of clinical rejection, proteinuria, or de novo donor specific antibody formation.
