Abstract:
We report the first successful multiorgan kidney-pancreas and parathyroid tissue transplant in a patient with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome and medullary cystic disease. Successful transplantation included quadruple drug induction therapy consisting of antithymocyte globulin, azathioprine, cyclosporine and prednisone. All three grafts are functioning 2 yr after transplantation.
