Cyclosporin-associated thrombotic microangiopathy: successful retreatment with cyclosporin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report describes a patient who developed cyclosporin-induced thrombotic microangiopathy in a renal allograft. Cyclosporin-induced thrombotic microangiopathy is considered by many as a contraindication to subsequent therapy with cyclosporin. This case is notable for successful treatment with cyclosporin following resolution of thrombotic microangiopathy in a renal allograft.

متن کاملDevelopment of transplant renal artery thrombosis and signs of haemolytic-uraemic syndrome following the change from cyclosporin to tacrolimus in a renal transplant patient.
The clinical presentation of post-transplantation thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is variable. Often, TMA will manifest systemically as haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS), with classic findings of renal failure, haemolytic anaemia, schistocytes and thrombocytopenia [1]. Localized and systemic TMA represent a spectrum of severity of the same disorder, not two different disorders with distinct pa...

Cyclosporin-A (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK-506) are immunomodulating agents used to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. They are both associated with several side effects, including nephrotoxicity and severe hypertension due to vascular injury, which often appears as a microvascular occlusive disorder (thrombotic microangiopathy, TMA). We report the first case of a microvascular occlusive d...
متن کاملSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF CYCLOSPORIN-A BY RAMAN TECHNIQUE
The Raman spectrum of cyclosporin-A has been recorded in the solid phase. The conformation of the molecule has been discussed on the basis of Raman data. It has been concluded that in agreement with X-ray data, cyclosporin-A molecule has an antiparallel P- pleated sheet conformation. It may have some reverse P- turn structure in what has been assigned to a random coil conformation.
