Summary
Renal Insufficiency is a priority disease in health system, which may require renal
replacement therapy based on renal transplantation, which is considered as therapy of choice.
During the procedure of renal transplantation, the graft could be damaged by
ischemia-reperfusion which generates complications in its function.
Recently the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of statins have been emphasized,
which could be beneficial in renal transplantation.
