pubmed:abstractText
Chronic allograft nephropathy is the most frequent cause of long-term kidney allograft loss. Studies are desperately needed to improve long-term survival. Tacrolimus has been associated with less rejection and better kidney function compared with cyclosporine in clinical trials. This study tested the hypothesis that conversion from cyclosporine to tacrolimus might improve long-term outcomes in patients with chronic allograft damage.
