与双药方案相比,霉酚酸酯(MMF)在三药方案中使用可降低急性排斥率。MMF对晚期急性排斥反应(LAR)发作的影响尚未得到很好的描述。为了调查LAR(移植后6个月的排斥反应)的风险,使用了来自移植受者科学登记处(SRTR)的数据。我们研究了1995年6月1日至2004年4月30日期间移植的成人原发性肝移植受者,他们患有丙型肝炎病毒(HCV) (n = 3356),乙型肝炎病毒(HBV) (n = 550)或非病毒性(n = 5740)原发性肝病,记录为在移植后立即连续接受3-(MMF + Tacro +类固醇)或2-药物(Tacro +类固醇)治疗至少6个月。Kaplan-Meier分析显示,移植后4年,丙型肝炎、乙型肝炎和非病毒性疾病患者服用3种药物的LAR发生率明显低于服用2种药物的患者。多因素回归证实,3种药物治疗与2种药物治疗与降低LAR风险相关。移植后6-12个月LAR患者移植后4年晚期移植存活率明显低于早期排斥反应患者(78.0% vs 87.0%, p < 0.001)和无排斥反应患者(88.1%,p < 0.001)。三药治疗与两药治疗至少6个月可能提供更好的治疗策略,以避免LAR发作的后果和费用。
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) used in a triple-drug regimen has been shown to decrease acute rejection rates, compared to a double-drug regimen. The impact of MMF on late acute rejection (LAR) episodes has not been well described.To investigate the risk of LAR (rejection >= 6 months post-transplantation) data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) were used. We studied adult primary liver transplant recipients transplanted between June 1, 1995, and April 30, 2004, with hepatitis C virus (HCV) (n = 3356), hepatitis B virus (HBV) (n = 550) or a nonviral (n = 5740) primary cause of liver disease who were recorded as receiving continuous 3-(MMF + Tacro + steroids) versus 2-drug (Tacro + steroids) therapy for at least 6 months immediately post transplantation.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significantly lower LAR rates 4 years post-transplant in 3- versus 2-drug HCV, HBV and nonviral disease patients. Multivariate regression confirmed 3- versus 2-drug therapy to be associated with a decreased risk of LAR. Late graft survival was significantly lower at 4 years post-transplant for patients with LAR 6-12 months post-transplantation versus patients with early rejection (78.0% vs. 87.0%, p < 0.001) and no rejection (88.1%, p < 0.001).Three-drug versus 2-drug therapy for a minimum of 6 months may offer a better treatment strategy to avoid the consequences and expense of LAR episodes.
