title: [Triple immunosuppression in renal transplantation in children: 3 years' experience].
abstract: Cyclosporin A in combination with low-dose steroid therapy and azathioprine was given to 50 children who received 53 renal transplants. In spite of a limited period of observation, the use of cyclosporin A, either on a post operative intravenous regime or on oral regime when primary graft function is achieved, has no significant influence on graft survival rate, which is 82% after 1 and 2 years, utilising cadaver donors. Vascular complications were responsible for the loss of 4 grafts and were associated with the use of kidneys from young donors, rather than the type of immunosuppressive agents used.
