pubmed:abstractText |
Immune tolerance has remained the Holy Grail in transplantation since the first kidney transplantation was performed over 50 years ago. Children present unique challenges in renal transplantation because of increased infectious risks and adolescent nonadherence to the intensive medication regimen necessary for allograft function. The current review presents recent studies and approaches toward achieving tolerance in renal transplantation and the prospects for pediatric patients.
