Patients in both groups received cyclosporine A (CsA) and steroid hormone treatment in the same way. In three months time, 10/60 cases in the MMF treated group showed acute rejection with an acute rejection rate of 16.6%. 22/52 patients of the AZA group had acute rejection with a rejection rate of 41.5%. The difference between the two groups is significant (P<0 01). Side effects manifested in MMF group includereduction of blood white cell count and platelet count (5 cases) and diarrhea (3 cases). They resume recovery after reduction of the dosage of or stoppage of MMF. Both hepatic renal functions are not affected. In AZA group, liver function is damaged in 9 patients. MMF is effective in the prevention or reduction of short term acute rejection of transplants. Its side effects are mild and reversible.展开更多
