Immunosuppressive drug therapy.

چکیده
The first successful kidney transplantation between monozygotic identical twins did not require any immunosuppressive drugs. Clinical application of azathioprine and glucocorticosteroids allowed the transfer of organs between genetically disparate donors and recipients. Transplantation is now the standard of care, a life-saving procedure for patients with failed organs. Progress in our understanding of the immunobiology of rejection has been translated to the development of immunosuppressive agents targeting T cells, B cells, plasma cells, costimulatory signals, complement products, and antidonor antibodies. Modern immunopharmacologic interventions have contributed to the clinical success observed following transplantation but challenges remain in personalizing immunosuppressive therapy.

Tricho-Dento-Osseous syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Immunosuppressive drugs, though critical to the treatment, have undesirable effects on patient's healing process. This is a case report of a 10-year-old female, suffering from Tricho-Dento-Osseous syndrome who was under treatment with penicillamine. As the dental treatment was sought too late, both central and lateral incisors...
متن کاملTherapeutic Drug Monitoring of Sirolimus,Correlation With Laboratory Parameters In Transplant Patients
Sirolimus is a potent immunosuppressive agent administered as prophylactic agent to prevent rejection after organ transplantation. Sirolimus must be used within a narrow therapeutic window. Due to inter- and intra-variability, sirolimus blood concentrations may be affected, therefore, there is no possibility of predicting the sirolimus blood concentrations based on the dose patients received. T...
متن کاملBiomarkers in Transplantation Medicine: Prediction of Pharmacodynamic Drug Effects
Conventional therapeutic drug monitoring based on measuring of blood concentrations (pharmacokinetic) is important in the clinical management of immunosuppressive therapy in transplantation medicine. Since rejection or infection occurs at irregular drug concentrations, immunosuppressive drug therapy is often empiric and prophylactic in nature. In addition, blood immunosuppressant levels are onl...
متن کاملIndividually tailored immunosuppression: is there a role for biomarkers?
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of immunosuppressive drugs has evolved over the last few decades. The use of liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, for example, now provides robust and highly specific quantification in the clinical laboratory. Nevertheless, the measurement of immunosuppressive drug concentrations, even if carried out accurately and precisely, does not sufficiently re...

BACKGROUND Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy may develop nail alterations resulting from infection, skin disorder, or drug regimen. OBJECTIVE This study aims to describe nail changes in PV female patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy and to report the frequency of associated fungal and bacterial growth in the patients' nails. METHODS Twenty-five fem...

Background and Aim: Pemphigus is one of the most common types of autoimmune blistering disease that requires systemic immunosuppressive therapy. Immunosuppressive therapy has improved the disease outcome in recent decades, but long-term use of them has side effects. Recently, it has been tried to evaluate immunosuppressive drugs with less side effects. One of them is mycophenolate mofetil. The ...
