  • Title: [Cyclosporin A and hyperlipidemia after kidney transplantation. Prospective study].
    Author: Hodel K, Mordasini RC, Brunner FP, Thiel G.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1986 Jun 28; 116(26):885-8. PubMed ID: 3526534.
    Abstract:
    Hyperlipidemia is common after renal transplantation and has been attributed, at least in part, to corticosteroid therapy. We therefore studied serum lipids in a group of nondiabetic transplant recipients on conventional immunosuppression with azathioprin and prednisone (Aza/P), in comparison with a transplanted group on cyclosporin A monotherapy (CyA) without steroids. Frequency and degree of hyperlipidemia in the two groups showed no significant difference. Atherogenic hypercholesteremia was found as frequently in patients on CyA as in those on Aza/P. Possible factors preventing normalization are discussed.
