[HTML][HTML] Association between steroid dosage and death with a functioning graft after kidney transplantation
G Opelz, B Döhler - American Journal of Transplantation, 2013 - Elsevier
Death with a functioning graft remains a major challenge following kidney transplantation.
Steroid dosing may be a modifiable risk factor. Collaborative Transplant Study (CTS) data
were analyzed to assess the relationship between long-term steroid dose and death with
function during years 2–5 posttransplant in 41 953 adult recipients of a deceased-donor
kidney transplant during 1995–2010. Steroid dose at year 1 correlated significantly with
death with function overall, and with death due to cardiovascular disease or infection (all p< …
