Using biomarkers of tolerance and rejection to identify high- and low-risk patients following kidney transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Black American heart transplant recipients receiving cyclosporine-based primary immunoprophylaxis suffer higher rates of allograft rejection with hemodynamic compromise, infections, and posttransplant coronary artery disease. We examined the hypothesis that a combination of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofet...
