title: Renal transplantation at the Munich Transplant Center: a retrospective single-center review.
abstract: The use of different immunosuppressive protocols (high-dose/low-dose CsA) has little effect on first cadaveric transplants in nonsensitized patients. However, low-dose CsA induction treatment reduces early nephrotoxic crises. There is a clear benefit of quadruple drug induction treatment for retransplants and sensitized transplant candidates. Steroid-free immunosuppressive therapy can be applied to a majority of long-term patients.
