Background: Protease inhibitors (PIs) have been described as inhibitors of metabolism of immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporine (CsA) and tacrolimus (FK), rising concerns about the management of combination immunosuppressive (IST) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) in HIV patients (pts) undergoing liver transplantation (OLTx).


Methods: from 11/04 to 02/06 six HIV pts (1 female, 5 males) underwent OLTx for end stage liver disease (ESLD). Table 1 shows pts characteristics at OLTx listing.

Legenda: HCC: hepatocarcinoma; ROW: Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome; TDF: tenofovir; 3TC: lamivudina; NFV: nelfinavir; APV: amprenavir; d4t: stavudine; LPV/r: lopinavir/ritonavir; DDI: didanosine.

The ART after OLTx was the same for all patients: TDF-3TC -NFV.
CsA, FK and NFV plasma levels were scheduled to optimize the drug dosage.


Results: Table 2 shows pts characteristics at the last control (02/06).

[Pts characteristics at the last control]


Conclusions: Our data of pt #1, #5 and #6, in which the dose of NFV was adjusted to maintain the recommended C-trough level, underscore the need for routine therapeutic drug monitoring also of PIs to optimize the combination of IST and ART.
