    Quadruple Induction Regimen with Basiliximab, Everolimus, Mycophenolate and Very Low Dose Tacrolimus Improves Graft Function without Increase in the Incidence of Microvascular Inflammation or De Novo Donor Specific Antibody Compared to the Standard Triple Regimen.

    M. Miura, H. Higashiyama.

    Department of Urology and Renal Transplantation Surgery, Sapporo Hokuyu Hospital, Sapporo, Japan.

    Objectives: Nephrotoxicity of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) in kidney allografts has been a significant problem even with low exposure regimens. On the other hand, CNI-free regimen…
