A potential benefit of pharmacodynamic monitoring to optimize immunosuppressive combination therapy has been demonstrated. In particular, CD26 and CD71 may be promising biomarkers to assess adequate immunosuppression in the early phase after kidney transplantation. The results of this pilot study require verification in further trials with more patients and events as well as with different graft types.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
