Abstract

The early transition to sirolimus provides long-term efficiency results comparable with a tacrolimus-based regimen, which represents a common treatment standard after kidney transplantation. Both are superior to other investigated immunosuppressive regimens. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015
