[Macroangiopathy of a kidney graft caused by cyclosporin A].
We report a case of renal macroangiopathy occurring after transplantation in a 50-year-old woman who received a cadaveric kidney and who was immunosuppressed with cyclosporin A. Accelerated hypertension at 3 months led to renal angiography which revealed diffuse narrowing of the two main renal arteries and their intrarenal branches. The patient returned to regular haemodialysis four months post-transplantation. These angiographic cyclosporin A-ascribed findings are similar to those recently reported by Sawaya.
