Core Tip For decades, hyperimmunized liver transplant recipients have faced poorer clinical outcomes due to their heightened immunological risk profile, leaving clinicians with limited evidence-based management options. This editorial delivers a comprehensive analysis of EL-Domiaty et al’s landmark study, which provides compelling clinical evidence that a short-course induction regimen of rabbit anti-T-lymphocyte globulin plus intravenous immunoglobulin can effectively mitigate early rejection risk and align outcomes with those of non-immunized recipients. This work highlights a viable, pragmatic strategy for managing this challenging patient population and paves the way for more personalized immunosuppression in liver transplantation.
