Cyclosporine nephrotoxicity.

چکیده
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 analyzing the available data about the pathogenesis and mechanisms of acute and chronic cyclosporine-induced nephrotoxicity. A working hypothesis for the possible mechanisms of chronic cyclosporine nephrotoxicity will be provided.

متن کاملRisk factors of cyclosporine nephrotoxicity after conversion from Sandimmune to Neoral.
BACKGROUND In 1995 - 1996, we switched from a once-daily Sandimmune dose to a twice-daily dose regimen of Neoral. Concurrent with the switch we changed our target trough level from 100 microg/l at 24 hours to the generally accepted 12-hour level of 150 microg/l. We performed a retrospective cohort study to assess cyclosporine toxicity following this switch and to identify risk factors for nephr...
متن کاملInfluence of cyclosporine on the occurrence of nephrotoxicity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a systematic review
Cyclosporine, a drug used in immunosuppression protocols for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that has a narrow therapeutic index, may cause various adverse reactions, including nephrotoxicity. This has a direct clinical impact on the patient. This study aims to summarize available evidence in the scientific literature on the use of cyclosporine in respect to its risk factor for the deve...
