Red cell survival and hematocrit values in a dog that is still alive 324 days after orthotopic transplantation. Note the sharp reduction in red cell half-life in the first postoperative month, with gradual return toward normal. Red cell survival was not altered by withdrawal of azathioprine a t the end of 4 months, but the depressed hematocrit rose sharply during the succeeding months.
