ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of daclizumab(zenapax) in liver transplantation patients with renal insufficiency. Methods We reviewed the use of daclizumab in 50 patients with renal insufficiency or at high risk of renal insufficiency during the period of liver transplantation between March 2001 to February 2003. The control group included 62 cases with no renal insufficiency at the same period. Results Renal function was recovered in 36 of 37 patients. The administration of daclizumab caused no vital organ dysfunction. Acute rejection was 6% (3/50) vs. 29 % (18/62) (P=0.826), infection was 56% (28/50) vs. 58% (36/62)(P=0.826). Conclusion Immunoprophylaxis with daclizumab regimen is safe, effective and well tolerated, and does not lead to increased opportunistic infections, and helps in improving renal function, by reducing the dosage and postponing the application of calcineurin inhibitor.
