  • Title: Complications of Immunosuppressive Therapy in Solid Organ Transplantation.
    Author: Katabathina V, Menias CO, Pickhardt P, Lubner M, Prasad SR.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 2016 Mar; 54(2):303-19. PubMed ID: 26896226.
    Abstract:
    Availability of novel immunosuppressive drugs is the most important factor responsible for significant improvement in long-term graft survival rates after solid organ transplantation. However, chronic immunosuppression predisposes patients to a myriad of potentially life-threatening complications. In addition to drug-related adverse effects, transplant recipients are at increased risk of developing opportunistic microbial infections and a spectrum of unique cancers, many of which are caused by oncogenic viruses. Cross-sectional imaging studies play a crucial role in the timely diagnosis and management of post-transplant infections and malignancies.
