A Comparison Between Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine As Immunosuppression after Renal Transplantation in Children, A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

CONCLUSION: Admitting the study limitations mainly because of the nature and case study size of the included trials, it can be concluded from our systematic review results that Tacrolimus seems insignificantly superior to Cyclosporine respecting graft loss and acute rejection. However, Cyclosporine was shown to be insignificantly superior regarding mortality rate. However additional studies with a larger sample size are highly recommended.
