title: Treatment of chronic allograft rejection.
abstract: Chronic renal allograft rejection at present the most important factor affecting long-term graft survival, and effective therapeutic method is still lacking. This article reports 43 cases of chronic renal rejection treated from January 1989 to April 1992. Effective result was obtained in 27 cases (62.8%). The authors believe that increasing dosage of the immunosuppressants is an effective method for the management of chronic renal rejection and the earlier the treatment is given the better the results would be. The selection and the regulation of the dosage of the immunosuppressants should be determined according to the individual situation.
