I think this sounds a lot better than the current induction therapies out there. The concept is not new and it sounds very similar to plasmaphereis but no doctor here.lol
This sounds much safer than giving a patient a drug to knock down their immune system. Many tx centers around the USA are using induction therapies.
Induction therapies such as (Campath, Zenapax, RatG) are extremely powerful immunosuppressive agents. They are given on the operating table and several days later as well. They also use some of these agents to halt the progression of chronic rejection (also Atgam, Okt3 and Thymoglobin). There is great risk because many patients develop post tx infections which are treatable but if they can avoid infections that is an important thing<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> In my opinion, less drug is always better.
I know they currently use plasmapheresis prior to surgery if the match is not perfect. If the patients PRA's are elevated in the blood, the surgeon will treat them with plasmapheresis prior to surgery and then recheck before they transplant. Sometimes an organ is not needed anywhere else and like this patient in the article, why waste an organ if someone who is going to die can take a chance and be saved. This experiment worked thankfully.
Transplantation is always risky and if they can find safer methods all the better.
keep taking care of yourselves. There will always be a new method out there that is better than the next
It is great to receive a transplant when you need it and there is also the science on how can I keep this organ. Scientists still do not know why some tx patients do better than others. I say it is a total package as I have always shared. Nutrition, emotional wellness and how well you monitor your signs and symptoms. Stress the body and mind less is one way.

Induction therapies are believed to bring the body into greater acceptance of the transplanted organ. It does work and the patients who recieve Campath generally do not need to take prednisone. Some of my CF/tx friends who receive Campath are stll taking a low dose of pred but it beats the larger doses they gave out years ago.
Just FYI
