Abstract

New direct acting antiviral agents are quite effective in treating hepatitis-C virus infection (HCV). Treating HCV that occurs or relapses after kidney transplantation necessitates a heedful approach for selecting the proper antiviral alternatives with respect to possible drug interactions. Here we want to lay emphasis on drug interactions in kidney transplant recipients along with a case that developed calcineurin inhibitor toxicity after initiation of anti-HCV treatment. A 48-year-old male was admitted after acute severe toxicity with tacrolimus due to a drug interaction with an antiviral regimen including ritonavir for relapsing genotype-1b HCV infection. Cessation of tacrolimus and antiviral therapy provided recovery. Sustained viral response was achieved with the same antiviral regimen with conversion to very low dose cyclosporine-A (CsA). Selection of a proper anti-HCV treatment combination for kidney transplant recipients requires consideration of the viral genotype, clinical features and possible drug interactions with immunosuppressives. These patients must therefore be followed by a hepatologist as well as a nephrologist

Özet

Yeni direkt etkili antiviraller ile hepatit-C virüs (HCV) enfeksiyonunun etkin tedavisi mümkünolabilmektedir. Böbrek nakli sonrası ortaya çıkan veya nüks eden HCV enfeksiyonu tedavisi özenli biryaklaşım gerektirir. Uygun tedavi seçimi yanında ilaç etkileşimleri de iyi bilinmelidir. Bu olgu sunumuve literatür derlemesinde, HCV için tedavi başlandığı dönemde kalsinorin inhibitörü toksisitesi gelişenbir olguyu tanımlarken, böbrek nakli sonrası antiviral tedavide ilaç etkileşimlerine dikkat çekmeyiamaçladık. Kırk-sekiz yaşında böbrek nakilli erkek olgu genotip-1b nüks HCV enfeksiyonu için tedavibaşlanması sonrasında ritonavir ile ilaç etkileşimine bağlı akut, şiddetli takrolimus toksisitesi nedeniyletakip edildi. Antiviral tedavi ve takrolimus kullanımı durduruldu. Klinik düzelme olduktan sonra hastadüşük doz siklosporin-A (CsA) eşliğinde antiviral tedavi alabildi ve sürdürülebilir viral yanıt elde edildi.Böbrek nakli alıcılarında uygun antiviral kombinasyonu seçerken HCV genotipi ve klinik özelliklerinyanı sıra immunosupressif ilaçlarla olası etkileşimlerin de dikkate alınması gerekeceği için, bu olgularhepatolog ve transplant nefroloğu tarafından yakın izlenmelidir.
