Summary

The study hypotheses to be tested in this study are:

* Conversion to everolimus at 3 months post-transplantation is safe and effective;
* Accurate noninvasive molecular diagnostic tests can replace biopsy at 3 months pre-conversion (for the diagnosis of subclinical cellular and/or humoral rejection, tissue fibrosis and calcineurin inhibitor-induced nephrotoxicity) in kidney transplant recipients;
* Follow-up biopsy at 12 months post-conversion (for the diagnosis of tissue fibrosis) can be replaced with accurate noninvasive molecular diagnostic tests in kidney transplant recipients.
