About

The purpose of this study is to improve outcome for kidney transplant recipients. There has not been commensurate improvement in medium and long-term outcomes. Ongoing clinical research is necessary to improve transplant outcomes.

Full description

This study is looking at information already collected of transplant outcomes (short, medium and long-term complications and quality of life). This will specifically look at:

1. 10 year follow-up of steroid-free maintenance immunosuppression
2. A cross-sectional study of infection after kidney transplantation (with emphasis on infection in steroid-free recipients
3. An evaluation of the Delayed Graft Function (DGF) nomogram in Thymoglobulin treated recipients at the University of Minnesota

Enrollment: 7,500 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Kidney Transplant Recipient at the University of Minnesota
• Kidney Transplant Recipients on steroid-free maintenance immunosuppression

Exclusion criteria

• Non-kidney transplant patients at the University of Minnesota

Kidney Transplant Recipients

Description:

Kidney Transplant Recipients at the University of Minnesota since 1984. The study looks at a 10 year followup of steroid-free maintenance immunosuppression, post-transplant infections and evaluation of the DGF nomogram in Thymoglobulin on patients at the University of Minnesota.

Treatment:

Drug: Evaluation of the DGF nomogram in Thymoglobulin

Other: Infection After Kidney Transplantation

Drug: Steroid-Free Maintenance Immunosuppression
