title: Cyclosporine-induced migraine with severe vomiting causing loss of renal graft.
abstract: Successful use of cyclosporine in organ transplant can be associated with unwanted side-effects that can affect graft function. We report three kidney transplant recipients in whom severe migraine headache occurred as a side-effect of cyclosporine therapy. This endangered graft survival in all three and eventually led to loss of graft in two.
