Kidney transplants and vitamin D

Post by mrtmeo »

I was reading this profile on a transplant surgeon which says,

http://www.surgery.wisc.edu/education-t ... /trainers/
"His lab was the first to identify the innate nature of “autoimmune” Th17 and Treg responses that are critical for the success or failure of lung and heart transplants. "

If it is the Th17 that causes transplant failures, maybe the Coimbra protocol would allow a drug free transplant?
Mother was on Rituximab and prednisone for Microscopic Polyangiitis which attacked the kidneys and lungs.
Drs denied her dialysis and appropriate treatment for her MPA and forced her into hospice.
She is in heaven and free from pain.

Well maybe the answer is Yes,

But I think that only Coimbra (or another doctor) can give you a properly answer about this subject.

It is just a hypothesis, but interesting.
