No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of sirolimus in the phenotype of peripheral blood T and B lymphocytes regarding their naïve, memory, effector end regulatory phenotype and in the development of anti-HLA antibodies among kidney transplant recipients with high immunological risk for graft rejection.

Conditions

  • Kidney Transplantation

Interventions

DRUG

Sirolimus

Sirolimus, 2mg once daily, will be added to the maintenance immunosuppression composed of tacrolimus, prednisone and mycophenolate. The prescription of tacrolimus will be tapered down to achieve a peripheral blood trough level between 3 e 5 ng/mL and micophenolate will be reduced to 540mg bid.
