A prospective, randomized, clinical trial of intraoperative versus postoperative thymoglobulin in adult cadaveric renal transplant recipients1

Abstract

The results of this study indicate that intraoperative Thymoglobulin administration, in adult cadaveric renal transplant recipients, is associated with a significant decrease in DGF, better early allograft function in the first month posttransplant, and a decreased posttransplant hospital length of stay.
