Effect of hematocrit on cyclosporine (cyclosporin A) in whole blood and plasma of renal-transplant patients. 1985

T G Rosano

Cyclosporine concentrations in whole blood and plasma were determined in 25 samples from renal-transplant patients. The portion of cyclosporine carried in plasma varied widely, from 9 to 58%. Radioimmunoassay and liquid chromatography both revealed a statistically significant inverse correlation between hematocrit and the plasma fraction of cyclosporine in the circulating blood. Regression analysis indicates that a 10% increase in hematocrit would decrease the portion of cyclosporine in plasma by 12 to 14%. Studies with cyclosporine-supplemented samples further demonstrated an effect of hematocrit on the drug concentration in plasma without a corresponding effect on the concentration in whole blood. The distribution of cyclosporine between plasma and erythrocytes was unaffected by plasma cholesterol and triglycerides for these transplant patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Cyclosporines
D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
