Abstract
Clinical reports of increased graft primary non function in patients receiving cyclosporine in whom the anastomosis time is prolonged (greater than 30 minutes) suggest a synergism between the nephrotoxic effects of cyclosporine and the ischaemia occurring during transplantation. Using unilaterally nephrectomised greyhound dogs, sixty minutes ischaemia and cyclosporine 10 mg./kg./day we have produced an animal model of cyclosporine enhanced ischaemia renal failure. Structural and functional data suggests the proximal tubule is the main site of injury.
