Five-Year Follow Up of Thymoglobulin Versus ATGAM Induction in Adult Renal Transplantation

Abstract

Thymoglobulin was associated with higher event-free survival, graft survival, and freedom from rejection without increased PTLD or CMV disease at 5 years compared with Atgam. The prolonged and profound lymphopenia may contribute to the long-term results associated with Thymoglobulin.
