Requirement for NSAID therapy.~11. Requirement for interleukin-2 therapy or other immune-modulating medication.~12. Existence of any other condition which would complicate the implementation or interpretation of the study.~13. Renal transplant.~14. Evidence of significant hepatic disease, as indicated by serum transaminases greater than 3 times upper limit of normal, protime greater than 2 seconds prolonged.
