Factors influencing outcome of kidney allografts from pretreated cadaveric donors. 1981

S Sterioff, and H Zincke, and W C Waltzer, and S B Moore, and P P Frohnert, and K P Offord

A five-year retrospective analysis of patient and graft survival after initial cadaveric kidney transplantation showed that recipients of kidneys from cadaveric donors pretreated with cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) and methylprednisolone (Medrol) had better graft survival than those patients who received nonpretreated kidneys. In patients not receiving transfusions, transplantation of a pretreated kidney improved the chances of success, with graft survival equivalent to that for patients receiving transfusions. Splenectomy was beneficial for graft survival and did not affect overall patient survival. The effect of splenectomy could not be clearly separated fro the effect of donor pretreatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
