摘要
This review and critical analysis of current trends of immunosuppression management in pediatric transplantation provides evidence and support for the continued role of Neoral as an indispensable part of immunosuppressive protocols. CyA formulation influences clinical outcomes such as acute rejection, as confirmed by two studies. The CyA microemulsion formulation provides more reliable and effective absorption. An advanced TDM strategy to determine CyA bioavailability can improve the effectiveness and safety of immunosuppression in de novo liver transplant patients, especially in the younger de novo patient. Neoral is an indispensable part of combination protocols in pediatric transplantation.
