What is Liver Transplant Immunosuppression?

Immunosuppressive therapy uses medications to suppress your immune system, preventing it from attacking the transplanted liver. At Liver Surgeons, Delhi's leading transplant center, we tailor post-transplant drug therapy to balance rejection prevention and infection risks, achieving 90% 5-year graft survival rates – the highest in India.

Why It Matters

  • 20–30% of recipients face acute rejection without proper immunosuppression.
  • Over-suppression increases infection risks; under-suppression risks graft loss.
  • Personalized dosing is key – no "one size fits all".

Key Components of Our Immunosuppressive Care

1. Anti-Rejection Medication Management

    • Cyclosporine: Alternative for patients with diabetes risks.
    • Mycophenolate Mofetil: Combined with Tacrolimus for dual therapy.
    • Steroids: Short-term use to prevent early rejection.

2. Drug Monitoring & Adjustments

  • Tacrolimus/Cyclosporine Monitoring: Blood tests every 2–4 weeks initially, then monthly.
  • Genomic Testing: Identifies fast/slow metabolizers for precision dosing.

3. Managing Side Effects of Immunosuppressants

  • Common Side Effects:
    • Tremors, headaches (Tacrolimus).
    • High blood pressure, kidney strain (Cyclosporine).
    • Diarrhea, leukopenia (Mycophenolate).
  • Solutions: Dose adjustments, adjunct therapies (e.g., antihypertensives).

4. Infection Prevention Post-Transplant

  • Antiviral/Antibacterial Prophylaxis: Valganciclovir (for CMV), Bactrim (for PCP).
