cyclosporine absorption in kidney transplant recipients

Electrolytes Disturbance and Cyclosporine Blood Levels among Kidney Transplant Recipients

BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation is associated with various biochemical abnormalities such as changes in serum blood level of sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and phosphorous (P). Although cyclosporine (CsA) is used commonly, the prevalence of its side effects, including electrolytes disturbance, is not well understood. OBJECTIVE To find the prevalence of electrolytes disturbance an...

Covid-19 infection in kidney transplant recipients: a case report

Clinical Chemistry / CYCLOSPORINE METABOLISM IN TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

Cyclosporine is used in the prevention of allograft rejection. Owing to its narrow therapeutic index, regular monitoring of the whole blood levels of cyclosporine is required. We observed that immunoassays measured significantly higher cyclosporine levels than did high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) over time after transplantation. As cyclosporine metabolites crossreact even with immu...

Cataract in kidney transplant recipients.

The relationship between the administrated dose of steroid and the grade of cataract was studied in 22 kidney transplant recipients maintaining a good graft function for more than one year. Posterior subcapsular cataract was observed in 19 patients, of whom seven showed severe cataract accompanied by visual disturbance. The total dose of steroid, particularly the dose in the period from three m...

A 16 Month Survey of Cyclosporine Utilization Evaluation in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Objectives: Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a life threatening reaction in the stem cell transplantation process. Nowadays Cyclosporine is the most commonly utilized agent for GVHD prophylaxis and it has a major role in successful transplantation. Cyclosporine has been applied for many years in this field but it could be stated that currently no general consensus is available for its optima...
