The conference will focus on immunosuppressive protocols used at different times posttransplant, including efforts to improve posttransplant patient and graft survival and to decrease posttransplant morbidity. A major component will be the opportunity to interact with faculty who use different immunosuppressive protocols. Arguments for and against each protocol will be raised and discussed. Sessions will be devoted to the need (or lack thereof) for steroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors and to differing immunosuppressive protocols for the sensitized recipients and recipients of ECD and DCD kidneys.

This conference attracts transplant surgeons, general surgeons, transplant coordinators and other health care providers from around the world.
