Evaluation of kidney functions and cyclosporine levels in renal transplant patients on Panimum Bioral in post transplant period

J Indian Med Assoc. 1999 May;97(5):204-5.

Abstract

A retrospective analysis of the patients being given Panimun Bioral (microemulsion cyclosporine) after renal transplantation was done at IKRDC, (Institute of Kidney Diseases & Research Centre), Ahmedabad. A total of 21 patients were included for analysis. Patients were evaluated for various parameters e.g. weight, cyclosporine levels, S. Creatinine and BUN at three time schedules as 0 to > or = 30 days, > 30 to > or = 60 days and > 60 to 120 days after renal transplantation. The analysis of data obtained indicates the kidney function tests improved in these patients and therapeutically safe blood cyclosporine levels were achieved in all the three timeschedules.
