title: [Immunosuppression and blood transfusions in patients with a kidney transplant].
abstract: 94 patients with renal allograft from a living related donor were studied in three different groups: 1 Patients with identical histocompatibility (n-32), treated with prednisone (PDN) and azathioprine (Aza); 2 Haploidentical patients (34) who received PDN, Aza and cyclosporine (CsA); 3 Haploidentical patients (28) who previous to the transplantation received specific donor blood transfusions and Aza/PDN after the transplantation. The survival for the patient and the graft after five years was 100% and 96% in group 1; 97% y 89% in group 2 and 82% and 72% in group 3. Five patients in group 1 received CsA also. There was no mortality in group 1, while there were one death in group 2 and two more in group 3. There was no significant difference between CsA and Blood transfusions in the patients and grafts survival.
