5-year followup of randomized clinical study on everolimus (EVR)-based regimen in a single center.
Efficacy and safety were compared between low-dose CSA plus EVR and standard-dose CSA plus mycophenolate mofetil.
Everolimus regimen was effective for preventing CMV infection.
Graft outcome including rejection, de novo DSA production, eGFR and newonset diabetes did not differ between two regimens.
Hyperlipidemia and proteinuria were tolerable adverse effects when EVR trough levels were maintained between 3 and 8 ng/ml.
