Correlation of tacrolimus blood concentration and the levels of blood lipid and fasting glucose after renal transplantation
2013
Objective To study the implact of tacrolimus blood concentration (Tac) after renal transplantation on blood lipid and fasting glucose (FBG) in recipients.Method The recipients who regularly given Tac + mycophenolate mofetil + prednisone after renal transplantation were chosen and those had normal preoperative levels of blood lipid and fasting glucose as subjects.The recipients were classied into high concentration group,normal concentration group and low concentration group by comparing Tac blood concentration of different postoperative periods with corresponding normal concentration range.The changes of biochemical indexes such as steady Tac valley blood concentration,blood lipid and FBG were monitored,and the differences in blood lipid and FBG levels at different periods among three concentration groups were compared.Result TG level was significantly higher (P<0.05),and HDL-C level was significantly lower in high concentration group than in normal and low concentration groups one month after operation (P<0.05).Three months after operation,TG and FBG levels were significantly higher in high concentration group than in normal and low concentration groups (P<0.05 and 0.01,respectively).Six months after operation,TC,TG and FBG levels were significantly higher in high concentration group than in normal and low concentration groups (P<0.05,0.01 and 0.05,respectively).There was no significant difference between normal and low concentration groups in various biochemical indexes at any time point (P>0.05).Conclusion The higher blood concentration of Tac and the longer used after renal transplantation,the easier it might cause drug-induced hyperlipidemia and diabetes.
