Abstract
Late steroid withdrawal following AB0i transplantation is feasible at a moderate risk of rejection. We recommend close monitoring of renal function and HLA antibodies during and after steroid withdrawal. On the other hand, the occurrence of severe infections causing death and graft loss in patients on triple maintenance immunosuppression including steroids should remind us to consider the overall immunosuppressive burden.
