Pharmacology of immunosuppressive medications in solid organ transplantation

Kristine S Schonder. Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

The multitude of immunosuppressants available for solid organ transplantation allows for many combinations of immunosuppressive therapies that can be tailored to a patient’s specific lifestyle and immunosuppression needs. Newer agents currently being studied offer even more possibilities for the future to further reduce the incidence of acute rejection and prolong graft and patient survival.
