NCT06512831
Lead Sponsor
West China Hospital
Brief Summary

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major and severe opportunistic infection among solid organ transplant recipients. Chemoprophylaxis is advised for those with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). However, the effectiveness of an isoniazid (INH) prophylactic approach based on TB risk factors, without relying on tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), remains uncertain. Therefore, the investigators conducted this retrospective study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 6-month INH prophylaxis regimen guided by TB risk factors in kidney transplant recipients.
