CsA resulted in a better short-time patient and graft survival that was not maintained in the long-term outcome. Chronic allograft nephropathy was the leading cause of graft loss in CsA-treated patients. Graft function was poorer in the CsA-treated patients, but its decline was similar in the two groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
