Abstract

Using OPTN/UNOS database, we identified risk factors for development of NODM. Some of these factors are potentially modifiable, including obesity, HCV infection, and the use of tacrolimus. Clinical trials are needed to assess whether modifying these "modifiable risk factors" will indeed prevent NODM.
