Summary
This study tested a strategy using a routine kidney biopsy three months after transplant to guide anti-rejection medication. 346 kidney transplant patients were split into two groups: those with mild inflammation received extra treatment, while those without inflammation had their steroids reduced. The goal was to see if this personalized approach could improve long-term kidney health without increasing side effects.
