The risk factors and laboratory diagnostics for post renal transplant tuberculosis: a case‐control, country‐wide study on definitive cases

Abstract

To our knowledge, this is the first study that demonstrated an increase in the risk of post-transplant TB by increasing the duration of pre-transplant hemodialysis and the number of post-transplant rejection episodes as 2 immunocompromised states. Further study is needed to clarify our new findings, specifically in relation to different immunosuppressive regimens.
