Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed 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

Arms & Interventions
Kidney Transplant Recipients
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.
Intervention: Steroid-Free Maintenance Immunosuppression
Kidney Transplant Recipients
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.
Intervention: Infection After Kidney Transplantation
Kidney Transplant Recipients
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.
Intervention: Evaluation of the DGF nomogram in Thymoglobulin

Data Analysis
Time Frame: 10 year followup
All studies are analyses from the Transplant Outcomes Database. Recipients have signed consent to have medical information entered into the database for these analyses. The database contains information on short, medium and long-term results.
