Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Evaluate the impact of one dose of belatacept in patients with DGF on their time to renal recovery and corresponding rates of patient and graft survival, rejection, and incidence of BK virus, EBV and/or cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections.

Detailed Description
Evaluate the impact of one dose of belatacept in patients with DGF on their time to renal recovery and corresponding rates of patient and graft survival, rejection, and incidence of BK virus, EBV and/or cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections.
At MDMC, while providers may choose to initiate belatacept to delay tacrolimus initiation, the impact of this practice on time to renal recovery has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study is to determine if administering belatacept to delay initiation of tacrolimus shortens time to renal recovery in DGF patients

weeks 1-4, and months 3, 6, 9 and 12) to capture potential short- and long-term effects on renal function.
- post-transplant outcome [1 year]
Patient survival o Graft survival Graft rejection
