Summary

This study looked at whether giving liver transplant patients fewer immune-suppressing drugs could lower their risk of a serious complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), where donor cells attack the recipient's body. About 100 adults who received a liver or combined liver-kidney transplant took part. Researchers tracked how many developed GVHD or experienced organ rejection within one year after transplant.
