Abstract:
:Fifty seven recipients of renal allografts initially treated with CsA and low-dose prednisone were switched to azathioprine and low-dose steroids. Ten had prolonged (greater than 28 days) allograft nonfunction after transplantation (group 1), 8 had ongoing, poorly controlled rejection (group 2), and 39 had stable functioning grafts (group 3). With a mean follow-up period of 5 +/- 3 months after conversion, 50 grafts remained functional including 6 of 10 in group 1, 6 of 8 in group 2, and 38 of 39 in group 3. Thirty-seven (65%) had improved function, 12 (21%) had stable function, and 8 (14%) experienced declining renal function. Three of these latter 8 patients required reinstitution of CsA therapy. There were 20 episodes of acute rejection in 18 patients; one graft lost function because of acute rejection unresponsive to therapy. Reasons for the 6 other graft losses were persistent primary nonfunction in 3 patients from group 1, untreated rejection in 2 patients who had multiple prior rejection episodes while on CsA, and chronic rejection in one patient. Although renal function has improved or stabilized in the majority (86%) of individuals changed to azathioprine therapy, there was substantial risk of acute rejection (32%) complicating this procedure. Patients most likely to benefit from conversion to azathioprine therapy are those with prolonged graft nonfunction after transplantation and those with serum creatinines greater than 2.0 mg/dl.
