Vascular and glomerular vs. proximal tubular components in calcineurin inhibitor‐related nephrotoxicity

Abstract: Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) are widely in use for immunosuppression in transplant recipients, but their nephrotoxicity may cause or aggravate renal disease. CNI pathology includes vascular and tubulointerstitial alterations. We have compared the effects of cyclosporine A (CsA) and tacrolimus (Tac) upon chronic administration in a rat model. We have tested whether Tac caused less damage than CsA. To this end, functional as well as glomerular and tubulointerstitial parameters were compared. Adult Wistar rats re… Show more
