Nordic Study in Cardiac and Lung Transplantation: Outcome in Relation to Cyclosporine Microemulsion C2 Levels
A 12-month Study to Investigate the Correlations Between Cyclosporine Microemulsion C2 Levels (High, Medium and Low) and AUC0-4 With Regard to Outcome in de Novo Heart and Lung Transplantation - Identification of Target Cyclosporine Microemulsion C2 Levels.

The main purpose of this study is to identify cyclosporine C2 levels during 12 months treatment , while cyclosporine microemulsion dosages are adjusted based on C0 cyclosporine blood samples, and retrospectively correlate C2 levels to outcome (renal function and incidence of acute rejections)
