Immunosuppressive Therapy

Post-transplantation immunosuppressive therapy consists of two stages-

  • Induction- Intense therapy for the first 2-3 months to prevent acute graft rejection
  • Maintenance- Throughout the life of the patient to combat both acute and chronic rejection. [1]

Even though regimens vary from center to center and case to case, most regimens consist of 2-3 drugs, usually including- [2] [3]

Induction Therapy

  • IL-2 Receptor antagonists- Basiliximab [4]
  • Anti-thymocyte antibodies- Associated with severe serum sickness like reaction [5]

Maintenance Therapy

  • Calcineurin inhibitor- Tacrolimus or Cyclosporin; known to cause nephrotoxicity, hypertension, dyslipidemia. Gingival hyperplasia and hirsutism are associated with Cyclosporin alone.
  • Anti-metabolite- Mycophenolate mofetil, Azathioprine
  • Glucocorticoids- tapering dose
  • Mammalian target of rapamycin [m-TOR] inhibitors and other strategies are aimed at minimizing the use of calcineurin inhibitors and corticosteroids.[6]
  • Proliferation signal inhibitors (sirolimus and everolimus)- In the case of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) or renal insufficiency
  • Monoclonal Antibody OKT3- Associated with an increase in the incidence of post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder[7]
