PG - 591-598 LID - 10.1111/1744-9987.13464 [doi] AB - Renal allograft survival requires multiple immunosuppressive drugs. This strategy may lead to gastric complications that necessitate gastro-protective medications, notably, proton pump inhibitors (PPI). This study aimed to compare the influence of pantoprazole and esomeprazole on serum cyclosporine trough levels (C(0) ) in renal transplant recipients (RTR). A prospective, parallel, open-label trial was conducted on 47 adult RTR receiving cyclosporine doses adjusted to attain trough concentrations of 100 to 150 mug/L, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 750 mg q12 hour and prednisolone at 5 mg daily at Nasser Institute, Cairo, Egypt from January to September 2016. Patients were randomized into the esomeprazole group (25) or pantoprazole group (22) receiving the same dose (40 mg once daily). The study outcomes included clinical signs of rejection and renal function decline, assessed by elevations in serum creatinine, caused by cyclosporine level variations in either of the two study groups. Renal function, C(0) and CBC measurements were measured at baseline and monthly for 6 months. The mean C(0) values were higher in the pantoprazole group than in the esomeprazole group in the sixth month only (P = .007). Serum creatinine level was lower in the sixth month than at baseline in the esomeprazole group (P = .004). There were no signs of rejection biochemical or clinical in any of the study groups. In conclusion, PPIs should be used with caution and doses should be titrated to reach the C(0) targets in RTR, which is of more importance in pantoprazole than esomeprazole to avoid C(0) level elevation or decline affecting the allograft function.
