Abstract

Three mg/kg bodyweight per day of intravenous methylprednisolone for 3 consecutive days is as effective as 15 mg/kg bodyweight per day of methylprednisolone in reversing acute renal allograft rejection (80% vs 68%; 95% confidence intervals of the difference are -8% to 32%). This dose was not associated with an increased incidence of further rejection episodes. It may not be necessary to continue with the common practice of administering high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone for acute renal graft rejection.
