【 摘 要 】

An appreciated and well-recognized treatment option for end stage heart failure verified as heart transplantation . Life-long immunosuppression suggested to be necessary due to the risk associated to rejection of transplanted heart by the recipient’s body. This study aimed to monitor heart transplant recipients in terms of immunosuppressive drug absorption using pharmacokinetics parameters and its’ correlation with nephrotoxicity. Heart transplanted recipients at Chamran Hospital Isfahan, Iran was studied. All data and factors that could affect immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy were noted in Excel and analyzed by SPSS. There were 10 heart transplanted patients from 24 November 2013 to 24 August 2018. Study population was comprised of 8 male and 2 female, with a minimum of 24 and a maximum of 54 years, the mean age ± SD was 38.7 ± 10.8 years old. Available data related to the hospital stay showed a minimum of 10, a maximum of 56 and a mean of 31 ± 14.9 days. Pharmacotherapy was based on cyclosporine, mycophenolate, acyclovir, prednisolone, valsartan, pantoprazole and others. Higher risk of infectious complications and malignancies after heart transplantation and a lower risk for acute or chronic rejection could be achieved by monitoring immunosuppressive drugs associated to nephrotoxicity or neurotoxicity based on well-structured program. Further studies in this direction seem to be advantageous.
