Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

* Patients where allograft biopsies may be performed.
* Patients receiving an identical or compatible ABO graft.
* Patients willing to give their written informed consent to all study issues.
* Women with child-bearing potential should use a medically proven contraceptive method during the study.
* Patients able to meet all study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with pre-transplant cholesterol levels above 240 mg/dl (6.2 mmol/l).
* Positive cross-match of T cells or ABO incompatibility with the donor.
* Recipients of multiorgan transplant.
* Patients with diabetes mellitus.

* Patients with a history of cancer in the previous 5 years, except for patients successfully treated with localized carcinoma of squamous or basal cells of the skin, or cervix cancer in situ treated adequately.
* Patients receiving an investigational drug in the 30 days prior to the transplant and/or who will receive an investigational/non-registered drug during the study, except for the use of erythropoietin-stimulating products
* Patients with myocardial infarction within the 6 months prior to the transplant, uncontrollable cardiac arrhythmia or another severe or unstable medical condition probably affecting the safety of the patient or the study objectives.
* Patients with alcohol dependence or drug abuse not solved, or signs of organic lesion caused by alcohol, mental dysfunction or other factors limiting their ability to fully cooperate with the study.
* Patients where it is planned to perform an induction treatment with preparations containing antilymphocyte antibodies (ALG, ATG or OKT-3).
* Patients scheduled to receive cyclosporine i.v. for over 48 hours.
