Abstract:
We report two cases of symptomatic cholelithiasis in pediatric renal transplant recipients immunosuppressed with cyclosporine (CsA), prednisone and azathioprine. CsA was present in the bile and in the cholesterol gallstones of one patient. The diagnosis of cholelithiasis was established in both cases by abdominal ultrasound examination.
