The Liver Meeting 2019-Precision Immunosuppression

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the concept of precision immunosuppression in organ transplant recipients. The speaker emphasizes the importance of finding the right balance of immunosuppression to prevent rejection while minimizing side effects. They highlight the challenges of achieving precision immunosuppression, including the need for individualized approaches based on factors like immunological risk assessment and drug dosages. The discussion includes data on outcomes such as tolerance, DSA development, fibrosis, and graft survival, as well as the potential impact of surveillance biopsies and composite outcomes. The speaker also suggests the need for collaboration, patient input, and innovative approaches like machine learning to advance precision medicine in transplant care.
