CD4 lymphocytopenia as a risk factor for skin cancers in renal transplant recipients.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:This is a follow-up of a withdrawal study that we previously performed on 104 liver transplant patients in which immunosuppression was gradually withdrawn over a period of 3 years. Eighty-one patients were not able to be withdrawn (rejectors), and 23 patients were successfully weaned off immunosuppression ...
