Transplantation Proceedings, 09/24/09
Sayin B et al. – Chronic allograft nephropathy or calcineurin inhibitor toxicity can lead to loss of graft kidney function. Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity can lead to chronic allograft nephropathy. Patients with a low baseline serum creatinine level who undergo sirolimus conversion showed stabilized kidney function. Late conversion of patients with a serum creatinine above 2 mg/dL face a risk of graft failure. Sirolimus displayed a limited incidence of serious adverse effects; mild or moderate adverse effects, such as hyperlipidemia and proteinuria, were easily controlled with countermeasure therapy.
