Özet

Background. Diarrhea is a common adverse effect of mycophenolate treatment in renal transplant recipients. In patients with mycophenolate-induced diarrhea, one option is to switch to mycophenolate to azathioprine. In this study, we aimed to define the safety and efficacy of switching from mycophenolate to azathioprine for mycophenolate-related diarrhea in renal transplant recipients.
