Everolimus plus reduced-exposure CsA versus mycophenolic acid plus standard-exposure CsA in renal-transplant recipients.

TLDR
The use of everolimus with progressive reduction in CsA exposure, up to 60% at 1 year, resulted in similar efficacy and renal function compared with standard‐exposure Cs a plus MPA.

Strategies for the management of adverse events associated with mTOR inhibitors

TL;DR: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors are used as potent immunosuppressive agents in solid-organ transplant recipients and as antineoplastic therapies for various cancers and most AEs can be effectively detected and managed or reversed with careful monitoring and appropriate interventions.

Conversion of Long-Term Kidney Transplant Recipients From Calcineurin Inhibitor Therapy to Everolimus : A Randomized, Multicenter, 24-Month Study

TL;DR: Conversion to everolimus with CNI elimination or minimization a mean of 5.6 years after kidney transplantation had no overall renal benefit and was associated with more frequent adverse events and discontinuations.

A sharper Bonferroni procedure for multiple tests of significance

Yosef Hochberg
- 01 Dec 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple procedure for multiple tests of significance based on individual p-values is derived, which is sharper than Holm's (1979) sequentially rejective procedure.

Prevalence of chronic kidney disease and decreased kidney function in the adult US population: Third national health and nutrition examination survey

TL;DR: CKD is common and warrants improved detection and classification using standardized criteria to improve outcomes, and CCr estimates showed a steeper decline with age and were lower in non-Hispanic blacks.

Post-transplant renal function in the first year predicts long-term kidney transplant survival

TL;DR: Recent improvements in graft half-life are related to conservation of renal function within the first year post-transplantation, and one-year creatinine and Delta Creatinine values predict long-term renal graft survival.

SDZ RAD, A NEW RAPAMYCIN DERIVATIVE: Pharmacological Properties In Vitro and In Vivo

TL;DR: SDZ RAD is a new, orally active rapamycin-derivative that is immunosuppressive in vitro that efficiently prevents graft rejection in rat models of allotransplantation and has been selected for development for use in combination with cyclosporine A to prevent acute and chronic rejection after solid organ allotransplplantation.
