What does volunteering entail?
If you believe you may meet the requirements to participate in this study (at right), and might wish to participate, send us a note with details of your transplant, how long you have been off immunosuppression and contact information.
-- IMPORTANT INFORMATION --
The ITN does not recommend the discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy for recipients of cell, organ or tissue transplants. Discontinuation of prescribed immunosuppressive therapy can result in serious consequences to your health and should only be performed in certain, rare circumstances, upon the recommendation and with the guidance of your health care provider. |
