Correlation of Tough Tacrolimus Level with Early Acute Rejections in Renal Allograft Recipients- A Prospective Study:(IGWHC)-Lupine Publishers
Correlation of Tough Tacrolimus Level with Early Acute Rejections in Renal Allograft Recipients- A Prospective Study by Manish Tripathi in IGWHC in Lupine Publishers
Acute Rejection is the key mediators of long term graft loss. So we
aimed the present study to assess the correlation of baseline pre
transplant trough tacrolimus level
with early rejection. We prospectively analyzed the trough tacrolimus
level on the day prior to transplantation of 179 patients transplanted
from September 2007 to September 2009. We divided them into three groups
according to the trough levels: Group I = < 5 ng/ml, Group II = 5-15
ng/ml and Group III = > 15ng/ml. Their demography, incidence of
BPAR, NOD, infections and biopsy proven CNI toxicity were studied.
Incidence of BPAR were the highest in the Group I and lowest in the
Group III. None of the patients in Group III had rejection with Banff
grade > 2. Incidences of post transplant at infection, new onset
diabetes were comparable. Trend towards higher incidence of biopsy
proven CNI toxicity was noted from Group I to Group III. These results
indicate that the incidence as well as severity of early rejection
reduces as the pre transplant trough tacrolimus level increases. Trend
towards higher nephrotoxicity with higher trough level was noted [1-25].
