Renal allograft outcomes following early corticosteroid withdrawal in Hispanic transplant recipients.

abstract：BACKGROUNDS:Recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is universal post-transplantation. Fibrosis (F) stage ≥2 at 12 months identifies patients with rapid fibrosis progression. Antiviral therapy (AVT) remains the only option to attenuate fibrosis progression. We hypothesized that CXCL10 levels can distinguish between...
