The mean time to peak absorption of cyclosporine (CsA) in liver transplant patients is approximately 2 hours, but in some patients the peak occurs later. The goal of this study was, therefore, to investigate the incidence of delayed absorption in 27 de novo liver transplant recipients receiving CsA

β¦ Synopsis
This article reviews therapeutic drug monitoring for cyclosporine in liver transplantation.
Brief descriptions of various immunoassay methods include sample matrix selection, assay reagents, and metabolite cross-reactivity information. Multiple comparisons of the various methods are outlined. Examples of t h e method-dependent relationship between clinical events and changes in cyclosporine concentration are presented. Other potential predictors of liver allograft function are listed.

It is unclear whether cyclosporine A (CsA) can be withdrawn safely during follow-up after pediatric liver transplantation. In our transplant program we have been using a strict protocol to withdraw CsA. The aim of this study was to retrospectively assess the effects of CsA withdrawal after pediatric
Protoporphyria is a genetic disorder in which patients may develop severe protoporphyrin-induced liver damage and require transplantation. Because unique problems occur in the perioperative period and because excess production of protoporphyrin by the bone marrow continues after liver transplantatio
