Clinical application of Cordyceps sinensis on immunosuppressive therapy in renal transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) increase mortality and reduce graft survival after renal transplantation. Because current prophylactic strategies such as methionine, cranberry juice, and antibiotics fail to sufficiently prevent recurrent infections in a substantial number of patients, there is a cl...
