Regardless of the increase in risk factors for RT such as older age and increased number of ABO/HLAincompatible transplants among patients, decreases in steroid administration and improvements in postoperative renal function have been observed in the Recent group. ./cache/cord-282342-5158g9kb.txt ./txt/cord-282342-5158g9kb.txt
