Failure of cyclosporine-treated renal allograft recipients to increase glomerular filtration rate following an amino acid infusion.

abstract：:The development of erythrocytosis following renal transplantation has been reported to be caused by a number of factors. These include acute and chronic rejection, hydronephrosis and renal artery stenosis. In this study, seven patients were noted to have erythrocytosis with hematocrits ranging between 53.5 and 66%.
