Abstract
The review presents results of clinical use of mTOR inhibitors, in particular, everolimus, in immunosuppressive therapy regimens. It has been established that immunosuppressive therapy regimens including mTOR inhibitors are preferred in patients with high and moderate risk of graft loss.
The analysis of the clinical use of mTOR inhibitors has provided evidence of the comparative incidence rate of wound complications and terms of surgical wound healing in the treatment with everolimus and the routine therapy.
Results of clinical trials have evidenced that minimization of therapy with calcineurin inhibitors and switching patients to everolimus allows for improvement of remote results of the kidney transplantation both due to reduced risk of nephrotoxic effect of calcineurin inhibitors, and due to anti-tumour and antiviral effects.

Key words: kidney transplantation, everolimus, mTOR inhibitor, immunosuppression
