Cyclosporine Monitoring and Pharmacokinetics in Pediatrie Liver Transplant Patients.
THE DEVELOPMENT of cyclosporine (CyA) as a novel immunosuppressive agent has dramatically advanced orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The use of CyA in pediatric OLT patients has been hindered by a lack of information concerning the drug's pharmacokinetics in children and the interpretation of blood concentrations during therapy. OL T should have a major effect on CyA's absorption, distrib...
متن کاملCyclosporine trough concentration monitoring in liver transplant patients.
Trough blood or plasma concentration measurements of CsA must be carefully interpreted in OLT patients in relation to hepatic function, sample timing, assay specificity, and concurrent drug therapy. The RIA:HPLC ratio of blood or plasma measurements will vary with the patient's liver function, the time of blood sampling in reference to the time of drug administration, the absolute CsA concentra...
متن کاملPerioperative management of spontaneous splenorenal shunts in orthotopic liver transplant patients.

متن کاملCoccidioidomycosis in liver transplant patients.
Eight (0.59%) of 1,347 patients who underwent liver transplantation at the UCLA Medical Center (Los Angeles) developed coccidioidomycosis. Whereas only one case occurred during the first 8 years and 10 months of the UCLA Liver Transplant Program (February 1984 to December 1992), seven cases occurred within the following 23-month period (December 1992 to November 1994). The median time of onset ...
