Fig 4
The mean doses of prednisone per day is charted against the time posttranspiant for CyA and FK 506 groups. For the CyA group, two curves are shown, one being for those patients who still remain on CyA vs the group that was converted to FK 506. The percentage of patients in each group who are off all steroids is shown at each time point.
