Abstract
The effect of different dosage levels (0-100 mg/k/day x 3)of intravenous methylprednisolone was tested in canine kidney autografts undergoing immediate contralateral nephrectomy. Intravenous methylprednisolone was safely administered in doses up to 40 mg/k/day for three days after kidney transplantation. Higher doses ( 40 mg/k/day x 3) were functionally and structurally harmful to canine kidney autografts.
