The impact of different induction immunosuppression protocols on patient survival, graft survival and acute graft rejection after kidney transplantation.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to stratify the immunological risk based on the presence of risk factors using different induction immunosuppressive protocols.

Background: The path to successful kidney transplantation reflects the accuracy of immunological risk assessment and choice of correct induction and maintenance of immunosuppression to avoid acute kidney rejection.

Methods: We performed a multicentre prospective analysis consisting of patients after kidney transplantation with a 12-month follow-up.
