Nephrotoxicity of immunosuppressant drugs in salt-depletion and modification of effect by an antifibrotic agent
The calcineurin inhibitors, cyclosporine and tacrolimus, are pivotal immunosuppressants in renal transplantation, but produce a cascade of acute (functional) and chronic (fibrotic) injurious events that contribute to chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). Using the rat salt depletion model of calcineu...
