Comparison of Tacrolimus and Myfortic Versus Tacrolimus and Sirolimus

Summary

The investigators center has also analyzed data over the last 7 years from deceased donor (DD) and living donor (LD) kidney transplant recipients who were randomized into 3 immunosuppressive arms between 2000 and 2001. Thus the goal of the investigators study is to reduce the toxic effects of traditional immunosuppressive regimens involving high-dose calcineurin inhibitor agents by comparing low-dose TAC-MYF with low-dose TAC and de novo SRL regimens. In order to minimize exposure to TAC, the investigators center has previously shown favorable outcomes using combination Thymoglobulin and Zenapax (Daclizumab) for anti-lymphocyte induction in the investigator population of patients.
