Abstract:
Purpose:To avoid using steroid in long term and decrease its side effects. Methods:We analyzedthe data of 9 cases of patients whose immunosuppressive therapy were based on FK506 and MMF. Steroid hasbeen withdrawn in 6 to 8 months after kidney transplantation. Results:All patients have been followed-up. Theresults indicated that no patient exhibited any acute rejection episode, and the side effects of steroid were dimin-ished. Conclusions :We believe that withdrawal of steroid on basis of FK506 and MMF may be safe. and furtherinvestigations are necessary.
