Benefit of Early Protocol Biopsy and Treatment of Subclinical Rejection
The Effects of Treatment of Subclinical Rejection on Renal Histology and Graft Function in Renal Transplant Patients Receiving Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil

This multicentre randomized, controlled trial (RCT) compared renal allograft histology and function in subjects treated with Tacrolimus + MMF + prednisone undergoing early protocol biopsies and treatment of subclinical rejection versus a non-protocol biopsy control group.
