Abstract

Important side-effects limit the use of cyclosporine A (CSA), the most insidious of which is nephrotoxicity, which manifests as a preglomerular arteriolar vasoconstriction causing a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF). This condition is initially purely functional, but with time can become anatomic and irreversible [4].
