Renal Pharm pt2 Flashcards
pharmacokinetics predisolone
action take >8hours
benefits of mTOR inhibitor sirolimus over calcineurin inhibitors Cyclosporine, tacrolimus
prophylaxis against cellular jrection
less vasoconstriction
no acute/chronic renal insuffciency
down regu of TGF-B+ PDGF > less interstial fibrosis
interleukin 2 receptor abx
daclizumab (95% human)
Basiliximab (75% human)
alemtuzmab (humanized)
drug interaction sirolimus
CYP3A4 inducers - Rifampin
CYP450 inhibitors - itraconazole, ketoconazole
___- may potentiate adverse events with calcineurin inhibitors
