The hepatic protective effects of tacrolimus as a rinse solution in liver transplantation: A meta-analysis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Tacrolimus was used as a rinse solution against ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in liver transplantation for years but its protective effects remain controversies. METHODS:We conducted literature retrieval in electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of tacrolimus as a rinse solution in liver transplantation. Postoperative liver function, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TBIL), at postoperative day (POD) 1, 2 and 7 was extracted for pooled estimation. Forest plots were generated to calculate the differences between the groups. The I2 index statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated using funnel plots and Egger's test. RESULTS:Three RCTs including 70 liver transplants were evaluated in this study. Pooled estimation revealed that rinse with tacrolimus in liver transplantation did not provide hepatic protection with respect to postoperative ALT (Test Z = 1.36; P = .175), AST (Test Z = 1.70; P = .090) or TBIL (Test Z = 0.69; P = .490). Sensitivity analysis by excluding extended donor criteria (EDC) livers showed similar results. Funnel plots and Egger's test demonstrated that there was no substantial bias. CONCLUSION:We may tentatively conclude that tacrolimus is ineffective for amelioration of postoperative liver function as a rinse solution in liver transplantation. Nevertheless, there is great space for future research in this area, and the potential clinical value of tacrolimus needs to be further addressed. We are expecting more evidence to support our speculations.
