Transplantation Proceedings, 06/30/09

Campsen J et al. - While long-term outcomes in PBC patients are favorable, disease recurrence can generally be managed medically without the need for a second transplant.

Increasing age and LD grafts were associated with successful CS withdraw. Conversely, cyclosporine use, female gender, and increasing BMI were associated with unsuccessful steroid discontinuation.
