Sirolimus Conversion Efficacy for Graft Function Improvement and Histopathology in Renal Recipients with Mild to Moderate Renal Insufficiency

Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate whether sirolimus (SRL) conversion effectively improves renal function and histopathology in calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-treated renal recipients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency. SRL conversion from CNI was performed in patients who underwent kidney transplantation from 6 months to 5 yr prior to screening. Forty-five patients were enrolled. The effect of SRL conversion on graft function was evaluated, and protocol biopsies were performed preconversion and 1 yr afte… Show more

“…It is notable that the use of SRL without CNIs did not improved post-transplant outcome in terms of acute rejection, graft function and survival in previous studies [20][21][22]. The early use of SRL is associated with a series complication such as impaired wound healing, hyperlipidemia, new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) [23,24]. Many of this complication depend on the initiation time for SRL consumption after transplantation and dose of the medication.…”
