Abstract:
We studied tear flow in 23 renal transplant patients receiving cyclosporine A. Four minute Schirmer test was done once before and three times after starting cyclosporine A. Average tear flow was 9.7+/-0.9 before treatment and 15.9+/-1.1 at 1-2 months after renal transplant, 16.5+/-1.3 at 3-5 months and 17.6+/-1.4 at 8-10 months. Tear flow was significantly increased following oral cyclosporine treatment.
