چکیده

T is one of the most commonly used immunosuppressive drugs but tacrolimus-induced severe symptomatic hyponatremia is not a well-documented issue in kidney transplant patients. In our current report, we describe a case of tacrolimus-induced hyponatremia in a living donor kidney recipient in whom any other potential cause of hyponatremia was excluded, and tacrolimus-induced salt losing nephropathy was resolved after conversion to everolimus.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of everolimus compared with sirolimus and tacrolimus in preventing kidney transplantation rejection. Methods: Search was conducted for finding randomized clinical trials (RCT) unt...

Renal recovery after conversion to an everolimus-based immunosuppression in early and late heart transplant recipients: a 12-month analysis.

OBJECTIVES Calcineurin inhibitor-induced nephrotoxicity reduces long-term patient survival after heart transplant. Proliferation signal inhibitors, in combination with or replacing calcineurin inhibitors, may preserve or improve renal function. We evaluated the effect of calcineurin inhibitor-reduction and withdrawal in everolimus-based immunosuppression on renal function after a heart transpla...

Prediction of Tacrolimus Exposure by CYP3A5 Genotype and Exposure of Co-Administered Everolimus in Japanese Renal Transplant Recipients

While tacrolimus and everolimus have common metabolic pathways through CYP3A4/5, tacrolimus is metabolized solely by CYP3A4 in recipients with the CYP3A5*3/*3. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the area under the blood concentration-time curves (AUC) of tacrolimus could be predicted based on CYP3A5 genotype and the AUC of everolimus in renal transplant patients taking both drugs. Th...
