Brief summary

MPA drugs are antiproliferative immunosuppressants and are widely used in solid organ transplantation. MPA drugs do not affect the recipient's kidney function and do not cause metabolic abnormalities and other problems. Intestinal solvent-based MPA drugs are widely used in clinical practice by improving the dosage form, reducing the irritation of MPA to the mucosa of the digestive tract, improving the tolerability of patients and maintaining a sufficient amount of MPA. However, data on the use/long-term use of intestinal solvent-based MPAs in liver transplant recipients are lacking. The study aims to evaluate the long-term benefits of enteric-coated mycophenolic acid in liver transplant recipients.

Interventions

DRUGenteric-coated mycophenolate (MPAs)
