| Abstract [eng] |
Sirolimus is a new immunosuppressive agent. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of sirolimus in patents after renal transplantation and to compare graft function, the frequency of rejection episodes and complications with patients under cyclosporin A tretment. From May 2002 to January 2005 26 renal transplant patients were treated with sirolimus. 13 patients (group A) were treated with sirolimus before renal transplantation and 13 patients (group B) were converted to sirolimus in late period after transplantation because of chronic cyclosporin A nephrotoxicity, chronic graft nephropathy and due to intolerance of cyclosporin A (mean time after transplantation - 18 months)... |
