Esomeprazole or Pantoprazole in Renal Transplantation

Summary

prospective, parallel, open-label clinical trial was performed on forty-seven adult renal transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy with CsA doses adjusted to attain trough concentrations of 100-150 μg/L, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) at 750 mg q12 hr and prednisolone at 5 mg daily randomized into two groups, which received esomeprazole or pantoprazole at the same dose (40 mg once daily). To compare the influence of pantoprazole and esomeprazole on serum cyclosporine (CsA) levels in stable renal transplant recipients.Cyclosporine (C0), renal function and complete blood count were measured at baseline and for 6 months. Main outcome measures Clinical signs of rejection and renal function decline, assessed by serum creatinine elevations, caused by CsA level variations in either of the study groups.
