Multivariate analysis of donor risk factors for graft survival in kidney transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Sirolimus (Rapamune, rapamycin, RAPA) is a potent immunosuppressive drug that has reduced the rate of acute rejection episodes by more than 40% in phase III trials when added to an immunosuppression regimen of cyclosporine (CsA) and prednisone. However, RAPA treatment tends to increase lipid levels, particul...
