Immunosuppression with azathioprine, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide

An immunosuppressive regimen consisting of azathioprine (AZ), prednisone, and intermittent i.v. infusions of 400 mg of cyclophosphamide (CY) in the first post-transplant month was prospectively compared with a no CY regimen. There were no significant differences in patient or graft survival, graft function, or infectious complications between the two regimens.
