Hi,
Unless your husband is a very small man, he may be at too low a dosage of cyclosporine. A typical therapeutic dose is 4-5 mg/kg/day. A dose of 180 mg/day would be a typical therapeutic dose for a 45 kg (or 99 lb) person. So perhaps that is why he keeps relapsing??? Perhaps the cyclosporine dosage is too low to make a difference, and he is relying mostly on the ATG effects.
