Abstract

Cyclosporine represented a major advance in the medical management of patients with organ transplantation, but its use is limited by the frequent occurrence of hypertension and renal toxicity diagnosed by invasive renal biopsy. Renal histology shows a specific arteriolopathy. It was hypothesized that cyclosporine may also induce subclinical microvascular changes in the skin that might be detected noninvasively by a combination of dynamic capillaroscopy [capillary blood cell velocity (CBV)] with and without intravenous Na-fluorescein (NaF) injection and laser Doppler fluxmetry (LDF).
