Abstract

Proliferation signal inhibitors (PSI) could help to lower the calcineurine inhibitors level to minimize their toxicity and improve long-term graft survival. Side effects of this drugs are specific and must been known. Hyperlipidemia and cutaneous side-effects are the most frequent, angioedema and interstital pneumonitis the most serious. In majority of cases, early and adapted management could limit the impact of these side effects.
