In order to stop the body from rejecting a transplanted organ, cyclosporine is used in combination with other medications. It is a member of the class of drugs known as immunosuppressive agents.
In a kidney transplant, a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is surgically implanted into a patient whose kidneys are no longer functioning correctly. End-stage renal disease patients require dialysis or a kidney transplant to keep them alive by removing waste from their bloodstream mechanically. Cyclosporine may exacerbate any existing infections or increase your risk of contracting new ones. Stay away from persons who may be infected and infect others (such as chickenpox, measles, flu)
‘Endo’ generally means within, or inside (like with the medical condition ENDOmitriosis for example, which affects the insides of the body). Therefore a person with endocranitis would probably need treatment for inflammation inside the skull.
