Combined immunosuppressive therapy with low dose FK506 and antimetabolites in rat allogeneic heart transplantation.
Following rat heterotopic heart allotransplantation, low to lethal doses of the antimetabolites mizoribine (MIZ), RS-61443 (RS), and AZA were given alone or in combination with subtherapeutic doses of FK506 (0.04 mg/kg/day) for 14 days after transplantation. With the median effect analysis of Chou and Kahan for quantitative drug interactions, substantial therapeutic synergism was demonstrated b...
متن کاملTherapeutic synergism between low-dose FK 506 and antimetabolites in rat allogeneic heart transplantation.
FK 506 HAS HAD A major beneficial effect on the survival of transplanted organs. However. the use of FK 506 is limited by its toxicity. To circumvent this problem. we attempted to amplify the therapeutic efficacy of lowdose FK 506 bv the combined use of various antimetabolites, including' RS-61443 (RS),1 mizoribine (MIZ),2 and azathioprine (AZA). Therapeutic interaction was evaluated with rat a...
متن کاملInvasive aspergillosis successfully treated by combined antifungal therapy and immunosuppressive monotherapy two months following heart transplantation
Invasive aspergillosis is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially following transplantation. Invasive aspergillosis is associated with mortality. Successful therapy is related to early diagnosis and proper therapy. We present the case of a 61-year-old man suffering from invasive aspergillosis 2 months following heart transplantation. He was suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and he ...
متن کاملProgressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy after heart transplantation: 4 years of clinically stable infection on low-dose immunosuppressive therapy
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), caused by reactivation of JC-virus is a relatively rare complication seen in patients with compromised immune system. There are no evidence-based treatment available and prognosis is poor. Withdrawal of immunosuppressant can result in further neurological deterioration and for patients with solid organ transplantations, fatal graft rejection. We...
متن کامل[Immunosuppressive therapy in renal transplantation].
In 1960, the beneficial effect on allograft survival of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) was demonstrated. In 1961, azathioprine, a less toxic derivative of 6-MP, was synthesized and soon became the main form of maintenance therapy. Around the same time, clinical studies of the effects of corticosteroids on the immune system were being conducted and successful reversal of rejection with cortisone was re...
