Abstract:
:Since January 1974, alternate cadaveric renal transplants were treated with antilymphocyte globulin (Behringwerke) om addotopm to prednisone and azathioprine. Thirty patients were treated in this way. 53% of patients receiving ALG had a functioning graft at six months as opposed to 40% in the control group. This difference is not significant. All other parameters were approximately equal in the two groups. No serious side effects of ALG treatment were observed.
