摘要: Most transplant physicians assume that immunosuppression must be carried out indefinitely for all renal recipients, except patients who receive from an identical twin. When recipients stop voluntarily, which happens relatively infrequently,1 their behavior certainly threatens both the graft and life.2,3 The irrationality of voluntary cessation calls some explanation.
