Sirolimus-Induced Angioedema [PDF]
Sirolimus (SRL) is a macrolide immunosuppressant that has gained widespread use in organ transplantation. Its full spectrum of side-effects is yet to be defined. We describe herein three cases of SRL-induced angioedema (AE) in African-American (AA) primary renal allograft recipients who received SRL in combination with mycophenolate mofetil and ...

Quantification of sirolimus by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using on-line solid-phase extraction [PDF]
Quantification of the new immunosuppressant sirolimus (syn. rapamycin; Rapamune((R))) in whole blood by chromatography is essential for its clinical use since no immunoassay is available although monitoring is mandatory.

Pitfall in the high-throughput quantification of whole blood cyclosporin A using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
In a growing number of laboratories the technique of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is used for the quantification of cyclosporin A in whole blood, employing cyclosporin D as the internal standard. Cyclosporin A is extensively metabolized

Individualized immunosuppression in transplant patients: potential role of pharmacogenetics. [PDF]
The immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs have a narrow therapeutic index. Under treatment results in episodes of rejection leading to either damage or loss of the organ. Over immunosuppression increases the risk of

A 15 year-old girl with reflux nephropathy ESKD underwent a related renal transplant in March 2000. Initial immunoupprressants administered to the patient included cyclosporine, azathioprine, and prednisolone. In January 2003, she had acute allograft dysfunction due to CNI toxicity with chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) detected by biopsy.

Dual mTOR/PI3K inhibition limits PI3K-dependent pathways activated upon mTOR inhibition in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the development of kidney cysts leading to kidney failure in adulthood. Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) slows polycystic kidney disease (PKD) progression in ...
