title: [Spontaneous kidney transplant rupture--effect of immunosuppressive therapy on incidence of rupture].
abstract: In an analysis of 302 cadaveric kidney transplantations performed from 1986 to 1988 the frequency of spontaneous kidney allograft ruptures could significantly reduced by introduction of cyclosporine therapy. Therefore, the importance of rejection in the etiology of allograft rupture is emphasized. In comparison with an earlier analysis the prognosis of rupture with respect to organ repair has been impaired (41 vs. 68%). The importance of intense and effective immunosuppressive therapy in the early period after kidney transplantation is emphasized.
