Impact of induction agents and maintenance immunosuppression on torque teno virus loads and year-one complications after kidney transplantation
Higher TTVL reflects the greater immunosuppressive burden in immunological high-risk patients receiving intensive immunosuppression. The choice of induction agent and intensified immunosuppressive maintenance therapy notably affects TTVL at 3 months post-transplant and beyond, necessitating careful consideration when interpreting and applying TTVL cutoffs to monitor immunocompetence post-transplant.
