ABSTRACT
AIM:
To study the long-term outcome of ketoconazole and tacrolimus combination in kidney transplant recipients.METHODS:
From 2006 to 2010, ketoconazole was given in 199 patients and was continued for at least 1 year or until graft failure (Group 1), while 149 patients did not receive any ketoconazole (Group 2). A combination of tacrolimus, mycophenolate and steroid was used as maintenance therapy. High risk patients received basiliximab induction.RESULTS:
Basic demographic data was similar between the 2 groups. The 5-year cumulative incidence of biopsy-confirmed and clinically-treated acute rejection was significantly higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (34% vs 18%, P = 0.01). The 5-year Kaplan-Meier estimated graft survival (74.3% vs 76.4%, P = 0.58) and patient survival (87.8% vs 87.5%, P = 0.93) were not different between the 2 groups. Multivariable analyses identified ketoconazole usage as an independent risk of acute rejection (HR = 2.33, 95%CI 1.33-4.07; P = 0.003) while tacrolimus dose in the 2(nd) month was protective (HR = 0.89, 95%CI 0.75-0.96; P = 0.041).CONCLUSION:
Co-administration of ketoconazole and tacrolimus is associated with significantly higher incidence of acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients.
