Superior Outcomes in Renal Transplantation after Early Cyclosporine Withdrawal and Sirolimus Maintenance Therapy, Regardless of Baseline Renal Function

Abstract

Early and complete withdrawal of CsA from a combination of SRL, CsA, and steroids was preferable to continuing on this regimen, regardless of baseline renal function. The benefit was most marked in patients with a baseline calculated GFR<or=45 ml/min.
