Many pediatric recipients experience these side effects, leading to dosage reductions, which potentially increase the risk of alloimmunity. We aimed to describe the alteration in immunosuppressive medication, explore the reasons for the reductions, and assess the potential impact on alloimmunity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from 49 pediatric kidney transplant recipients receiving an allograft from 2009 to 2020 were retrospectively studied.

Eighty percent of the transplantations were corticosteroid\u2010free. During follow\u2010up, 11% developed de novo donor\u2010specific antibodies (dnDSA), and 60% had detectable HLA antibodies. The 1\u2010year rejection rate was 4%. Immunosuppressive medication was altered substantially in most recipients, resulting in 72% being on mono\u2010 or dual therapy with a reduced mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) dosage by the end of the first posttransplant year. The median MMF dose was nearly half of the intended. Tacrolimus levels were maintained close to the target of 5\u2009ng\/mL. No association was found between reduced immunosuppression and dnDSA or rejections. Reductions were primarily due to MMF\u2010related side effects: leukopenia in 77%, gastrointestinal issues in 34%, and infections with Epstein\u2013Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and BK polyomavirus in 49%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Reduced MMF with a sufficient trough tacrolimus level in a population of mainly corticosteroid\u2010free pediatric
