Kidney Transplant | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2020

Each year in the United States, thousands of patients suffering from end-stage renal disease undergo a kidney transplant. To prevent rejection and maintain the new kidney’s functionality, these patients must remain on immunosuppressive regimens for the duration of their life. However, these powerful agents come with considerable risks on top of their important benefits. This report examines how key immunosuppressive agents are used in induction and maintenance regimens to prevent kidney transplant rejection.
