Comparison of everolimus with calcineurin inhibitors in maintenance immunosuppression

Key Points

• The aim is to compare the effectiveness and side effects of everolimus versus calcineurin inhibitors in maintaining immunosuppression.
• Compared everolimus and calcineurin inhibitors in immunosuppression
• Evaluated renal function and side effects
• Considered the optimal timing for administration
• Everolimus showed effective immunosuppression with fewer side effects
• Renal function improved without increasing rejection risk
• First-year post-transplant was deemed optimal for treatment timing
