New horizons in kidney transplantation
Immune tolerance
Kidney transplant recipients normally take anti-rejection drugs to help protect the transplanted kidney. The study will use a new approach to see if patients can reduce or stop anti-rejection drugs.
What is Immune Tolerance?
Immune tolerance means a transplant patient can keep their kidney without taking anti-rejection drugs.
These drugs prevent rejection but can have serious side effects such as infections, heart problems, tremors, cancer and reduced function in the transplanted kidney.
The Perspective Study is evaluating an experimental treatment approach that could eliminate the need for anti-rejection drugs for living donor kidney transplant recipients. For more information click below.
