The impact of obesity in renal transplantation: an analysis of paired cadaver kidneys.

abstract：:Although FK 506 has been shown to effectively reverse refractory renal allograft rejection, its ability to reverse accelerated renal allograft rejection as a primary agent has not been specifically addressed. Herein evidence of the ability of FK 506 to reverse accelerated renal allograft rejection is presented. A 16-y...
