Abstract
ATG/Fresenius (5 mg/kgBW) and ATGAM (Upjohn, 12.5 mg/kgBW) replacing c yclosporin A were given during 7 d after transplantation to 20 patient s in 1992 and 30 patients in 1993, respectively, Numbers of mismatches , combined kidney-pancreas transplantation and severe infections were not different for the two groups, However, prednisone pulse therapies and additional antilymphocyte globulin treatments were more frequent a fter ATGAM than after ATG induction (p<0.01, chi(2)-test).
