- Abstract
Although rejection rates and short-term graft survival have significantly improved in kidney transplantation with the introduction of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic complications are being increasingly recognized as important causes of morbidity and mortality. We hypothesize that non-CNI proliferation signal inhibitor (PSI)-based immunosuppressive regimen is associated with improved arterial stiffness after kidney transplantation compared with CNI-based immunosuppressive regimens.
