Abstract:
:The aim of this study was to study the incidence of chronic renal dysfunction in patients with more than 5 yr of follow-up following liver transplantation and to evaluate the benefit of decreasing cyclosporine A (CsA) dose combined with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on renal function and immune response in these patients. Between 1988 and 1994, 60 children were transplanted, and 86% survived >5 yr post-liver transplantation. Fourteen patients developed chronic renal dysfunction secondary to CsA toxicity as evaluated by renal biopsy. In 11 patients CsA dose was decreased to 40-90 mg/ml target levels and MMF 600 mg/m(2) twice daily was added to the immunosuppressive regimen. Plasma creatinine decreased (from 1.0 +/- 0.03 to 0.8 +/- 0.03 ng/dl, p < 0.007), creatinine clearance increased (from 66.8 +/- 3.0 to 99.2 +/- 6.3 ml/min/1.73 m(2), p < 0.002) and microalbuminuria decreased (from 21.0 +/- 8.6 to 3.6 +/- 1.1 mg/24 h, p < 0.05) after 12 months of CsA combined with MMF therapy. During combined therapy the proliferative, cytolytic response and cytotoxic antibodies showed no significant changes, whereas CD4/CD8 ratio increased (from 1.2 +/- 0.2 to 1.4 +/- 0.1, p < 0.05). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion increased (p < 0.005) during MMF therapy. The release of interleukin-10 was strikingly augmented under both immunosuppressive regimens, but the release of transforming growth factor-beta and interferon-gamma did not change. Our findings indicate that initiation of MMF combined with reduced doses of CsA allowed the recovery of renal function with minor changes in the immune response.
