Retrospective analysis of immunosuppression drug withdrawal after liver transplantation

Objective To analyze the clinical data of patients with immunosuppression drug withdrawal after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with immunosuppression drug withdrawal after liver transplantation in our center from January 2013 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Eleven patients had immunosuppression withdrawal passively with time(10.4±6.2) months because of severe adverse effects. Two cases had acute rejection and success rate was 81.8%. The withdrawal time of 4 patients with active immunosuppression withdrawal was (28.8±30.3) months, and withdrawal was all successful(100%). One case had complete immunosuppression withdrawn for 74 months. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of sex, age, body mass index, induction of monoclo-nal antibody, time after liver transplantation, complications(diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension), withdrawal time and success rate between active withdrawal group and passive withdrawal group (P>0.05).
