Randomized steroid therapy of human kidney transplant rejection

Abstract

This randomized, double-blind study failed to show any therapeutic benefit of a 30-mg/kg bolus over a 3-mg/kg bolus of methylprednisolone for the treatment of acute kidney transplant rejection. Since there was a slight associated increase in infections and septic mortality, routine use of high-dose methylprednisolone bolus therapy is not recommended or justified.
