Article Synopsis
- - The effectiveness of calcineurin inhibitors in kidney transplant patients is closely linked to how their drug levels are monitored, specifically looking at the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC).
- - For cyclosporine (CYA), blood levels are typically checked 2 hours after taking the drug, while for tacrolimus (TAC), levels are measured just before the next dose (trough concentration).
- - This study compared the blood concentration patterns of CYA and TAC in kidney transplant patients with similar backgrounds, revealing notable differences in their pharmacokinetics and how their levels relate to AUC.
ABO-incompatible liver transplantation is usually contraindicated. The presence in the recipient of preformed anti-A/B antibodies located on endothelial cells raises the risk of antibody-mediated humoral rejection of the graft. We describe four successful cases of steroid withdrawal in adult patients who had living-donor liver transplantation from ABO-incompatible donors.

- This study investigated how machine perfusion preservation parameters can predict kidney graft viability in transplantation.
- It analyzed 88 cadaveric kidneys, mainly from non-heartbeating donors, and categorized them based on perfusion flow rates.
- Results showed that higher perfusion flow rates correlated with lower rates of primary nonfunction and better immediate kidney function, indicating the usefulness of these parameters in assessing graft viability.
