Johnson Clinical Transplantation ABSTRACTBackgroundEarly conversion to Everolimus (EVR) post deceased donor liver transplant has been associated with improved renal function but increased rejection. Early EVR conversion has not been evaluated after living donor liver transplant (LDLT). A retrospective cohort study was conducted to compare the rate of rejection and renal function in patients converted to EVR early post‐LDLT to patients on calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs).MethodsThis was a single center retrospective cohort study of adult LDLT recipients between January 2012 and July 2019. Patients converted to EVR within 180 days of transplant were compared to patients on CNIs. The primary endpoint was biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) at 24 months posttransplant. Key secondary endpoints included eGFR at 24 months, change in eGFR, adverse events, and all‐cause mortality.ResultsFrom a total of 173 patients involved in the study: 58 were included in the EVR group and 115 in the CNI group. Median conversion to EVR was 26 days post‐LDLT. At 24 months, there was no difference in BPAR (22.7% EVR vs. 19.1% CNI, p = 0.63). Median eGFR at 24 months posttransplant was not significantly different (68.6 [24.8 to 112.4] mL/min EVR vs. 75.9 [35.6–116.2] mL/min CNI, p = 0.103). Change in eGFR from baseline was worse in the EVR group (−13.0 [−39.9 to 13.9] mL/min EVR vs. −5.0 [−31.2 to 21.2] mL/min CNI, p = 0.047). Median change from conversion to 24 months posttransplant (EVR group only) was −3.43 mL/min/1.73 m2 (−21.0 to 9.6).ConclusionsEarly EVR conversion was not associated with increased risk of rejection among LDLT recipients. Renal function was not impacted. EVR may be considered as an alternative after LDLT in patients intolerant of CNIs. 10.1111/ctr.15402 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
