Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conversion Group

Kidney transplant recipients at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) who are currently on tacrolimus (CNI), and will be undergoing conversion to Everolimus + low dose CNI. Potential participants will be asked to participate in the study after the decision to convert CNI to Everolimus + low dose CNI has been made.

Tacrolimus

Intervention Type DRUG

The patient's physician will prescribe drug according to standard practice.

Everolimus

Intervention Type DRUG

The patient's physician will prescribe drug according to standard practice.

Control Group

Kidney transplant recipients at KUMC on tacrolimus (CNI). These will be patients not planning to undergo any change in immunosuppression.

Tacrolimus

Intervention Type DRUG

The patient's physician will prescribe drug according to standard practice.
