Calcineurin Inhibitors

Introduction. Chronic renal failure is a significant issue regarding treatment of patients after liver transplantation. One of the factors determining the impaired renal function after liver transplantation is a long-term immunosuppressive therapy based on calcineurin inhibitors. The objective of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of renal function, depending on the use of various calcineurin inhibitors in the long-term postoperative period in liver recipients in real clinical practice. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the renal function in patients operated in the State Public Health Budget Institution “Scientific Research Institute – S.V. Ochapovsky Regional Clinic Hospital № 1”, Krasnodar Region, was carried out. This article describes dynamics of creatinine level and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients before liver transplant, as well as 6 months, 1, 2 and 3 years after surgery. GFR was calculated using the CKD-EPI formula (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration). Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the Statistica 10 software package. Results and discussion. Before transplantation, the level of creatinine in the blood plasma was 82.9±19.8 mmol/l, 6 months later a20.4% increase in creatinine was registered (p=0.004), 12, 24 and 36 months later – it increased by 24.8% (p=0.00001), 24.4% (p=0.0004), and 26.0% (p=0.0005), respectively. Both cyclosporine and tacrolimus caused an increase in the level of creatinine. Baseline GFR was 83.4±25.9, the reduction in GFR occurred in comparison with the baseline by 14.2% (p=0.0005), 18.8% (p=0.00001), 20.2% (p=0.00003), 22.6% % (p=0.00006) 6, 12, 24 and 36 months later, respectively. The degree of the decrease in GFR against the background of tacrolimus therapy did not differ significantly from that in case of cyclosporine. Verification of chronic kidney disease and the administration of statins were recorded in isolated cases. Conclusions. In liver recipients, the level of creatinine rises and GFR decreases. Reduction of kidney function occurs against the background of both inhibitors of calcineurin, in connection with which it is necessary to increase the doctors’ alertness for early detection of a decrease in glomerular filtration rate with further verification of chronic kidney disease.

Introduction. Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) run an increased risk of death, and in some studies cardiovascular diseases were inversely related to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and urine osmolality.Aim: to evaluate the renal filtration function and concentration capacity in patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism.Materials and methods. The study included 100 patients with pHPT (median age 57 [52;61]), including 33 with mild form (median age 54 [45;60]). Changes in GFR and osmolality index were evaluated in 29 patients after surgery for pHPT. Follow-up period was up to 24 months.Osmolality index was calculated as urine osmolality to blood osmolality ratio. Renal concentration capacity impairment was diagnosed with osmolality index less than 2. Glomerular filtration rate was calculated by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study (MDRD) formula. Chronic kidney disease stage was estimated accordingly to current recommendations.Results. Osmolality index in patients with mild pHPT was low with median 1.65 [1.4; 2.43]. We found a high prevalence of renal concentration capacity impairment in patients with mild pHPT, that was 70%. Mean GFR was 90.9 [73.3; 95.6] ml/min/1,73 m2. Prevalence of chronic kidney disease stages 3-4 was 6% in patients with mild pHPT. Changes in renal concentration capacity in long-term period after surgery for pHPT were characterized by increase of osmolality index, also in patients with mild form (initially 1.75 [1.4; 2.14], after surgery 2.38 [1.84; 2.54]), changing Me was +12.4% in 6-24 months (p=0.012). Changes in renal function in long-term period after surgery for pHPT were characterized by decrease of GFR within the limits of chronic kidney disease stages 1-2, also in patients with mild form.Conclusions. Renal concentration capacity impairment is common in mild pHPT and is restorated after surgery for pHPT. The findings of this study add cause for measurement of urine osmolality or osmolality index in all patients with pHPT. Our results confirm the requirement of estimating GFR in pHPT patients not only while active disease, but also in remission after surgery for pHPT.
