Title: L-Arginine and Graft Survival
Post by: stauffenberg on July 07, 2008, 10:47:18 AM

There have been conflicting studies published in medical journals concerning the effect of taking l-arginine in protecting renal grafts from the damage caused by immunosuppressive drugs.  Does anyone have any information about whether l-arginine is on balance worth trying?  Has anyone ever been advised by their transplant follow-up team to take it?
