Abstract:
:The use of tacrolimus (FK506) in adult kidney-transplant recipients has been the subject of a number of single- and multi-center studies. This review article focuses on those studies in which tacrolimus was used either as rescue therapy in patients who developed refractory rejection on cyclosporine (CyA)-based regimens or as primary immunosuppression in adult renal-allograft recipients. Twenty-five prospective and retrospective studies conducted in the US, Japan and Europe, including single- and multi-center experiences, were identified in the medical literature. Of these studies, most show a 74-98% initial success rate for tacrolimus rescue therapy. Comparative studies reviewed herein demonstrate comparable patient- and graft-survival rates between tacrolimus- and CyA-treated patients. Many studies have shown that rejection episodes occur with similar or lower frequency among patients treated with tacrolimus than among those given CyA as primary immunosuppression. The major toxicities associated with tacrolimus are nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and diabetogenicity. Results from several studies have also demonstrated an association between these tacrolimus side effects and high whole-blood trough levels of tacrolimus. In many cases, a reduction in dosage can reverse these adverse effects. In summary, based on both single- and multi-center data, tacrolimus has been demonstrated to be efficacious when used for either primary immunosuppression or as rescue therapy for refractory acute rejection in adult renal-allograft recipients.
