Suppressor cell function was assessed in 13 patients with chronic renal failure not on dialysis, 10 patients on regular hemodialysis and 11 renal transplant patients by means of the Concanavalin A inducible Suppressor Cell Assay. The mean Suppression Index (S.I.) in the undialysed patients (0.76 +/- 0.39) and those of the dialysed patients (0.72 +/- 0.18) were not significantly different from the 25 healthy controls (0.68 +/- 0.22). However the S.I. in the renal transplant patients (1.11 +/- 0.41) was significantly different from the normal controls as well as the undialysed and dialysed patients. Although there was no correlation between S.I. and age, post transplant follow up period, serum creatinine concentration, prednisolone or azathioprine dosage it is likely that the cause of the impaired suppressor cell function was due to the immunosuppressive agents used.
