Abstract：
:Highly concentrated marine polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), affecting the lipids and lipophilic drugs metabolism, can interfere with cyclosporine (CyA) pharmacokinetics. This prospective, randomized and placebo-controlled, double-blind study involved 42 kidney graft recipients. From day +1, 21 pts (E) received 6 g n-3 PUFA (85% EPA + DHA, Esapent, Pharmacia) and 21 pts (P) received placebo (olive oil), both reduced to 3 g from day +30 on. A quadruple immunosuppressive regimen was employed. Plasma creatinine, lipids and CyA pharmacokinetics were investigated 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after graft. The two groups were comparable for age, weight, M/F ratio, hypertension prevalence and baseline lipids. Active treatment did not affect total and HDL-cholesterol, but significantly lowered triglycerides (E:120 +/- 12 vs P:166 +/- 21 mg/dl, p < 0.0001). At one year, E pts had lower creatinine than P (1.26 +/- 0.06 vs. 1.88 +/- 0.2 mg/dl, p < 0.05), comparable CyA dosage, and a larger CyA area under the curve (AUC) (n.s.), with a higher blood peak level (Cmax) (p < 0.04) and less variance in time to peak (n.s.). The larger AUC in the E group at all intervals and the better pattern of plasma creatinine, with no rise in blood pressure, provided evidence of better CyA absorption and metabolism in n-3 PUFA supplemented kidney graft recipients.
