A Retrospective Evaluation of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub> and Its Potential Effects on Renal Allograft Function

Abstract

These data suggest that short- and long-term prospective trials evaluating 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) or 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) analogs in human kidney transplantation are warranted. Such trials may help us elucidate mechanism and duration of action, as well as safety issues related to these novel immunomodulatory agents.
