In September 1985 in our kidney transplantation centre for the first time ciclosporin A was used. Up to now altogether 50 patients received this new form of immunosuppression. During the sand immune application no essential side effects occurred. The success of the change of the therapy was independent of the degree of the serum creatinine level at the time of conversion. In the period of observation we performed altogether 106 kidney transplantations. With 88% of grafts functioning normally at the discharge under application of ciclosporin A we achieved a clear improvement of the results of transplantation in comparison with the classical immunosuppression (53.6%) in the period of observation.
