  • Title: Stability of long-term renal function in heart transplant patients treated with induction therapy and low-dose cyclosporine.
    Author: Gonwa TA, Mai ML, Pilcher J, Johnson C, Pierson S, Capehart JE, Alivizatos PA.
    Journal: J Heart Lung Transplant; 1992; 11(5):926-8. PubMed ID: 1420240.
    Abstract:
    Long-term renal function was evaluated in heart transplant recipients who were treated with antilymphocyte globulin induction therapy and low-dose cyclosporine therapy. Although an initial 16% drop in the glomerular filtration rate occurred, long-term follow-up revealed stability of renal function. Four-year patient survival was 77.6%. Use of induction therapy with low-dose cyclosporine may preserve renal function without compromising long-term patient survival.
