Official title: Studies of Kidney Transplant Outcome

Status Completed

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Trial 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 ;
