pubmed:abstractText |
Chronic rejection is a major cause of graft dysfunction after kidney transplantation. This fibroproliferative disease may be promoted by overproduction of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta). Previous studies have suggested that CsA might increase production of this growth factor. The current study was designed to measure the expression of TGF-beta(b) in renal transplant biopsy specimens from patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy with either CsA or tacrolimus (FK506).
