| Zusammenfassung: | Today kidney transplantation features excellent short-term outcomes with decreasing acute rejection episodes.

With the development of a broad armamentarium of new immunosuppressive agents with different mechanisms of action, the minimization or avoidance of corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors became feasible. |
