Preventing acute rejection, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders after kidney transplantation: use of aciclovir and mycophenolate mofetil in a steroid-free immunosuppressive protocol.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There are few prospective studies of prednisone-free immunosuppression (IS) in pediatric kidney transplant (KTx) recipients. We studied the outcomes of a protocol using rapid discontinuation of prednisone (RDP, <1 week) and thymoglobulin induction. METHODS:Twenty-one RDP recipients (mean age 14+/-3 years) r...
