title: [Long-term use of immunosuppressants in patients with kidney transplants].
abstract: The authors analyse the principal characteristics of immunosuppression needed after a kidney graft. They review various therapeutic methods and consider the main complication induced by long-term iummunosuppression. They associate published data with their own experience, based on more than 300 transplantations performed with corticosteroids and azathioprine at Necker Hospital.
