https://www.selleckchem.com/products/LY2603618-IC-83.html BACKGROUND We assessed whether allograft rejection or failure can be predicted by an acute increase in C-peptide production from the transplanted pancreas. METHODS Patients with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up post simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant were identified. C-peptide levels were obtained during clinic visits routinely. Graft failure was defined as return to dependence on insulin therapy or return to dialysis for pancreas and kidney grafts, respectively. Protocol kidney allograft biopsies were performed at 3 and 12 months. For-cause biopsies were also performed. RESULTS Acute rejections were detected in 11 patients on biopsy results of the renal allograft. C-peptide levels drawn prior to documented rejections were significantly higher in patients with acute rejection than patients with borderline or no rejection (P = .006). Receiver operating characteristics curves for C-peptide indicated greater accuracy in predicting rejection than simultaneously drawn serum creatinine or lipase. CONCLUSIONS Higher C-peptide levels in simultaneous pancreas-kidney recipients is associated with acute rejection vs nonrejection. INTRODUCTION Long-term transplant outcomes are considered a crucial point for kidney transplantation. Follow-up studies in patients receiving early conversion to once-daily tacrolimus (TAC-OD) are still limited. We aimed to investigate tacrolimus trough level (Cmin), intrapatient variability of tacrolimus dose-normalized Cmin (TAC-Cmin/D), along with other outcomes between twice-daily tacrolimus (TAC-BID) and early converted TAC-OD. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was a single center, retrospective, cohort study. All new kidney transplant patients who received tacrolimus and presented an estimated glomerular filtration rate of more than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 on the day of hospital discharge were included. Studied patients were divided into the standard TAC-BID and patients who were converted
