Correlation between dose and level of cyclosporine after orthotopic liver transplantation.

چکیده
I t is generally accepted that. in actual clinical practice. the concentration of cyclosporine in blood is the principal determinant of the dosage to be prescribed for a given patient. However. many physicians. in describing immunosuppression policies. still refer to the dose of cyclosporine prescribed after transplantation. The present analysis was undertaken to determine the degree of correlation between the dose and level of cyclosporine in s' able liver transplant reci pien ts.

The Relationship between the Plasma Level of Cyclosporine-A and Drug Dose in Patients of Kermanshah Kidney Transplantation Center
Background: Nowadays the main problem in transplantation is the complexity of host immune system protection against the immunological and destructive reactions of the transplanted organ. High serum level of the immunosuppressive drug may cause toxicity and low serum level leads to the rejection of the transplanted organ. Cyclosporine has been known as the most effective immunosuppressive drug. ...
متن کاملSevere Acute Hyperkalemia during Pre-Anhepatic Stage in Cadaveric Orthotopic Liver Transplantation
A serious hazard to patients during orthotopic liver transplantation is hyperkalemia. Although the most frequent and hazardous hyperkalemia occurs immediately after reperfusion of the newly transplanted liver, morbid hyperkalemia could happen in the other phases during orthotopic liver transplantation. However, pre-anhepatic hyperkalemia during orthotopic liver transplantation is rare. This rep...

Blood concentrations of cyclosporine were determined in adult and pediatric patients following orthotopic liver transplantation to quantitate cyclosporine blood clearance and oral absorption. Seventeen bioavailability studies were performed following transplantation surgery in nine children and seven adults. The intravenous cyclosporine study was performed following an average dose of 2.1 mg/kg...

Objective(s): The goal of this research was to develop a mouse orthotopic liver transplantation (LTx) model from donor-after-cardiac-death (DCD) grafts. Materials and Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the sham group. The mice in the experimental group were divided into three groups according to the warm ischemia time (WIT) of liver graft: normal LTx, WIT 30 minut...
متن کاملSwitching monitoring of emulsified cyclosporine from trough level to 2-hour level in stable liver transplant patients.
After orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) many patients use emulsified cyclosporine. Recent data showed that blood levels 2 hours after dosing (C-2) better reflect systemic exposure to the drug (area under the blood concentration time curve) than trough levels (C-0) do. We investigated difference in dosage, creatinine clearance (CrCl), blood pressure (BP), freedom from rejection, and relatio...
