medications be used after a kidney transplant
• Currently, treatment is chosen primarily for immunosuppression involves administering two drugs simultaneously with azathioprine and steroid. The first cell division stops. When given in adequate doses has a selective effect of lymphocytes whose mission is to inhibit rejection. The steroid, in turn, suppresses inflammation, and therefore rejection.
• The immunosuppressant cyclosporine is more effective than the previous one with the least chance of causing infections but has the disadvantage of causing injury in the kidney and the dose should be adjusted carefully.
• Other drugs used to correct biological changes in the blood and bones, which occur frequently in renal failure include antihypertensives. If patients treated with immunosuppressants are vulnerable to infection, is used to treatment with antibiotics.
• The problem is that the immunosuppressive substances not only decrease the defenses to a foreign organ but also lower the natural immunity against bacteria, viruses and fungi. The specialist must adjust the dose so that exactly is needed to prevent rejection, but not more than the essentials
