Functional immune assay using interferon-gamma could predict infectious events in end-stage kidney disease

ConclusionMonitoring of IFN-γ production after stimulation of innate and adaptive immunity may identify ESKD patients with high risk of infection. This allows for therapeutic interventions to restore cellular immunity, thereby minimizing both infections and rejections after kidney-transplantation.
