Cyclosporine nephrotoxicity.
After more than 20 years of cyclosporine use its nephrotoxicity remains a significant clinical problem. Cyclosporine-induced renal injury has been described in solid organs recipients and in patients treated for autoimmune diseases. It is manifested in 2 distinct and well characterized forms, acute nephrotoxicity and chronic nephrotoxicity. This communication reviews the current literature anal...
متن کاملArginine feeding modifies cyclosporine nephrotoxicity in rats.
Glycine (G) infusion causes renal vasodilation mediated by nitric oxide (NO). Cyclosporine A (CsA) nephrotoxicity is characterized by preglomerular vasoconstriction and decreased efferent arteriolar tone probably related to reduced NO and angiotensin II, respectively. L-Arginine (ARG) is a precursor to NO. To test the hypothesis that chronic CsA decreases renal NO activity, we compared the glom...
متن کاملNephrotoxicity of cyclosporine in liver transplantation.
SINCE the introduction of cyclosporine (CsA)-steroid therapy for our liver transplant recipients in March 1980, the survival rates have increased significantly as shown in Fig 1. The effective and relatively safe immunosuppression provided by CsA is undoubtedly the most important factor in the improved success rate. l N~'phrotoxicity is a troublesome side effect of CsA. The distinction between ...
متن کامل[An investigation of cyclosporine A (CyA) nephrotoxicity by lithium clearance].
It has been widely recognized that cyclosporine A (CyA) is useful in transplantation of the kidneys. On the other hand, the nephrotoxicity as one of its adverse effects is clinically important. There have been accumulated pieces of pathological evidence that CyA causes the renal proximal tubule damage. However, there are few reports available on the changes in the proximal tubular function. Rec...
متن کاملEffect of Erdosteine on Cyclosporine Induced Chronic Nephrotoxicity
Drugs and exogenous toxins, including aminoglyco-sides, amphotericin B, cisplatin, and radiocontrast media , may cause acute kidney injury (1). The manifestations which indicate that damage is occurring are a sudden increase in kidney injury biomarkers (NGAL [neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin], KIM-1 [kidney injury molecule-1], etc.) and kidney failure (creatinine, cystatin C). This im...
