      Garcia, Riberto [UNIFESP]; Machado, Paula Goulart Pinheiro [UNIFESP]; Felipe, Claudia Rosso [UNIFESP]; Park, Sung In [UNIFESP]; Spinelli, Glaucio Amaral [UNIFESP]; Franco, Marcello Fabiano de [UNIFESP]; Tedesco-Silva Junior, Hélio [UNIFESP]; Pestana, Jose Osmar Medina [UNIFESP] (Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2007-04-01)
      Chronic allograft nephropathy is among the major causes of graft loss even in low-risk kidney transplant recipients and correlates with acute nephrotoxic events during the first year post-transplant. Therefore, calcineurin ...
