Item does not contain fulltextUncertainty exists regarding the necessity of continuing triple therapy consisting of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), cyclosporine (CsA), and prednisone (Pred) after kidney transplantation (RTx). At 6 mo after RTx, 212 patients were randomized to stop CsA (n = 63), stop Pred (n = 76), or continue triple drug therapy (n = 73). The MMF dose was 1000 mg twice daily, target CsA trough levels were 150 ng/ml, and Pred dose was 0.10 mg/kg per d. Follow-up was until 24 mo after RTx. Biopsy-proven acute rejection occurred in 14 (22%) of 63 patients after CsA withdrawal compared with 3 (4%) of 76 in the Pred withdrawal group (P = 0.001) and 1 (1.4%) of 73 in the control group (P = 0.0001). Biopsy-proven chronic rejection wa...
