Advances in immunosuppressive drug therapy have contributed greatly to the success of solid organ transplantation. Unfortunately, improvements in short-term outcomes as a result of advances in immunosuppressive protocols have yet translated into greater long-term graft survival. Graft survival half-life, a measure of long-term outcome in kidney transplantation, has changed only...

Cytomegalovirus disease (CMV) adversely affects short and long term outcomes following transplantation of allogeneic kidneys, hearts, lungs and livers. Disease prevention strategies, including prophylactic treatment with gancyclovir and related antiviral agents, are routinely implemented in seronegative recipients of organs from seropositive donors (D+/R-). CMV...

Transplantation is a unique therapeutic option for patients with end organ disease. The pharmacotherapy involved in the treatment of the transplant patient is often challenging. Immunosuppressive agents used have narrow therapeutic indices and have the potential for long term toxicity. More and more patients are transplanted every year. Community pharmacists will encounter this...
