Longterm use of a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based regimen is one of the major reasons for chronic renal failure in liver transplantation recipients (LTRs). The Everolimus Liver registry (EVEROLIVER) evaluated renal function in LTRs who were converted to everolimus (EVR). This observational registry included all LTRs receiving EVR across 9 centers from France. Data are being collected in an electronic database over 10 years (12 visits/patient) to evaluate efficacy, renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]), and safety of EVR use in clinical practice, and the current analysis is reporting up to 60 months of findings. Until September 2017, 1045 patients received EVR after a mean time of 3.6 +/- 5.1 years. CNI withdrawal was feasible in 57.7% of patients as of month 60. Mean eGFR improved in patients with baseline eGFR = 60 mL/minute/1.73 m(2). Among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD; baseline eGFR = 60 mL/minute/1.73 m(2)) at month 36. Only 20.9% and 17.4% among those converted beyond 12 months (late conversion) experienced improvement respectively at month 36 and 60. A logistic regression analysis in patients with CKD stage >= 3 demonstrated that late conversion, age, and female sex were associated with nonimprovement of eGFR (>= 60 mL/minute/1.73 m(2)). Data from this real-life use of EVR indicate that renal function was maintained from the preconversion period until month 36 even in patients with advanced CKD. However, early rather than late conversion appears to be a safe approach to preserve longterm renal function in LTRs.
