Efficacy and Safety of Induction Strategies Combined With Low Tacrolimus Exposure in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving Everolimus or Sodium Mycophenolate
Despite the improvement of efficacy results with current immunosuppressive regimens (about 15% of incidence of acute rejection), the security schemes used do not show the same results.The most worldwide used regime is tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone. Despite the favorable efficacy results in our population, the use of this combination is associated with higher incidence of viral infections such as cytomegalovirus, and gastrointestinal events, two common causes of hospital readmissions after renal transplantation at our institution.Given this, the investigators propose a study of our own initiative that attends our local needs: identify the best strategy among the therapeutic options available to maintain the result of current effectiveness and improve the safety profile for kidney transplant recipients.This protocol is a prospective, randomized, single center, designed to compare the safety and efficacy of three immunosuppressive regimens: (1) single dose of antithymocyte globulin, reduced exposure to tacrolimus, everolimus starting on day 2 after transplantation and prednisone; ( 2) basiliximab, reduced exposure to tacrolimus, everolimus starting on day 2 after transplantation and prednisone; (3-control group) basiliximab, reduced exposure to tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone.Our hypothesis is that a single dose of antithymocyte globulin or basiliximab induction therapy in combination with low doses of tacrolimus, everolimus and prednisone results in comparable efficacy observed in patients receiving tacrolimus / mycophenolate / prednisone, but with a better safety profile. To ensure efficacy, the investigators added to the regimes the induction with monoclonal or polyclonal antibody. To improve the toxicities associated with the current scheme, the investigators replace the use of mycophenolate by everolimus and the investigators reduced the dose of tacrolimus. Patients will be monitored for blood levels of tacrolimus and everolimus to ensure ade
