Preservation of graft function in low-risk living kidney transplant recipients treated with a combination of sirolimus and cyclosporine

The use of sirolimus (SRL) in combination with full doses of cyclosporin A (CsA) results in reduced one-year kidney allograft function, which is associated with shorter long-term allograft survival.
