Abstract
|
|
|
|
Over the last two decades, newer immunosuppressive agents have been introduced in the field of solid organ transplantation, and provided better graft and patient outcome. A wider range of immunosuppressants available to transplant physicians have resulted in improved therapeutic strategies to offer the combinations of medications with non-overlapping toxicities and more suitable immunosuppression. However, only a few clinical trials of new immunosuppressants have been conducted in pediatric patients. This review will discuss the cutting-edge strategy of immunosuppression in children and the current status of new immunosuppressive agents in pre- and post-transplant management to prevent kidney allograft rejection.
