  • Title: Cyclosporine-steroid combination therapy in 84 cadaveric renal transplants.
    Author: Gordon RD, Iwatsuki S, Shaw BW, Starzl TE.
    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 1985 Jun; 5(6):307-12. PubMed ID: 3893105.
    Abstract:
    Sixty-three primary and 21 retransplant cadaver kidney allografts were placed in 77 patients over a one-year period with three- to six-month follow-up. Eight primary grafts (12.7%) and six retransplants (28.6%) were lost to rejection. Patient mortality was 3.9%. There were no grafts lost and no deaths due to opportunistic infections. Renal function at 6 months after transplantation was similar in all primary transplant recipients regardless of risk factors, including advanced age, diabetes, or the need for postoperative dialysis.
