Abstract

Background/aims: Cyclosporin-A is used as a alternative medical therapy in steroid resistant ulcerative colitis with severe activity. In spite of its known efficacy, the long term effects of are not entirely clear. Methods: The records of 13 steroid resistant patients treated with cyclosporin-A were retrospectively assessed. Cyclosporin-A had been prescribed orally at a dose of 8mg/kg/day in four patients and intravenously, 4mg/kg/day in nine patients. Intravenous therapy was changed to oral therapy after one week and patients also received 5-ASA and azathioprine. Steroid treatment was tapered. Results: Ten patients responded to treatment in a mean of nine days (range: 2-30 days). Three patients who did not respond underwent total colectomy on day seven, 11 and 19 of therapy. The 10 patients who initially responded received the drug for an average of 4.9 months; four of these relapsed during and one relapsed soon after discontinuation of therapy. Four of the five patients who relapsed underwent colectomy and the one patient who did not accept surgical intervention continued medical therapy. The remaining five patients (38% of the total group; 50% of the patients who initially responded) remained in remission at the end of an average 17 month follow up period. Conclusions: Cyclosporin-A therapy in severe ulcerative colitis that is resistant to steroids, provides initial remission in 80% of patients and allows 40% to retain their colon for one year.

Özet

Amaç: Siklosporin-A steroide yanıtsız, ciddi aktiviteli ülseratif kolitli hastaların tedavisinde, alternatif bir tedavi şeklidir. Siklosporin-A nın etkinliği oldukça bilinmesine rağmen uzun dönem tedavi sonuçları bu gün için net değildir. Yöntem: Çalışmamızda siklosporin-A kullanan steroide dirençli 13 hastanın sonuçları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalardan 4 üne siklosporin-A 8 mg/kg/gün oral, 9 una 4 mg/ kg/gün intravenöz olarak başlandı. Siklosporin-A nın intravenöz başlandığı hastalarda, bir hafta sonra oral uygulamaya geçildi. Hastalara eş zamanlı 5-ASA ve azatioprin verildi, kortikosteroid azaltılarak kesildi. Bulgular: Vakaların 10 u ortalama 9 (2-30) gün içinde tedaviye cevap verdi. Tedaviye cevapsız 3 hastaya 7, 11 ve 19. günlerde total kolektomi uygulandı. İlk cevabın alındığı 10 hastada ilaca ortalama 4,9 ay devam edildi. Bu hastalardan 4 ünde siklosporin almaya devam ederken, 1 inde ilacın kesilmesinden hemen sonra alevlenme meydana geldi. Dört vakaya total kolektomi uygulandı. Cerrahi girişimi kabul etmeyen bir hasta medikal tedavi ile takip edilmektedir. Geri kalan 5 hasta (total grubun %38'i; ilk cevap verenlerin %50'si) ortalama 17 aylık takip sonunda remisyonda kalmaya devam ettiler. Sonuç: Steroide dirençli ciddi aktiviteli ülseratif kolit ataklarında siklosporin-A tedavisi hastaların yaklaşık %80'inde ilk remisyonu sağlamakta, %40 ında da sonraki 1 yıl içinde kolektomiden korumaktadır.
