Possible involvement of the central nervous system in graft rejection.

abstract：:The calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) have been the cornerstone of immunosuppressive therapy in recent years, though their association with dose-related nephrotoxicity is a major factor in the development of chronic allograft nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients. The novel proliferation signal inhibitor everolimus ...
