Hi Steph,
What is your brother's dosage of cyclosporine, and what is his weight?
Are they taking cyclosporine trough measurements to ensure that he is not at too toxic a level?
Pay attention to your brother's creatinine. Ideally, it should not rise more than 30% of its pre-ATG levels.
Make sure that he drinks plenty of water!!
Although cyclosporine can cause sub-clinical damage to the kidneys, the effects on creatinine can be reversed when the dosage is lowered. If the dosage is appropriate for a person's body weight, there is less chance of problems. Just remember that more-is-not-always-better when it comes to this drug.
Hope he starts feeling better!
P.S. I love France
