简要总结
End Stage Renal Disease is common in our country, with the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) either in the form of dialysis or kidney transplantation. In patients undergoing renal transplantation, immunosuppressive therapy is given as induction therapy and maintenance therapy. According to the KDIGO guidelines, patients at low immunological risk for acute rejection receive standard induction therapy. However, recent scientific research has shown that induction therapy in low immunological risk renal transplant recipients does not confer significant advantage in acute rejection rates and long term patient or graft survival. It potentially increases the risk for infections and overall cost of the treatment. We are conducting this study to find out if renal transplantation without induction immunosuppressive therapy will affect the short term and long term outcomes in patients at low immunological risk for acute rejection.
We aim to conduct a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare the outcomes of no induction therapy vs. standard induction immunosuppresion, in low immunological risk renal transplant recipients, on standard tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroid based triple maintenance immunosuppresion.
