摘要：
The aim of this study was to evaluate the success of steroid (PRED) withdrawal due to replacement by mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Thirty patients with AIH > 12 months after OLT randomized to receive either PRED and tacrolimus (TAC) or MMF and TAC were followed for 24 months. Withdrawal of steroids showed no difference regarding graft and patient survival. Also we demonstrated significantly lower glucose levels with lower HbA1c and a reduced need for insulin as well as a significantly lower serum cholesterol in the MMF group. Patients without steroids showed a lower incidence of osteopenia. Maintenance therapy in OLT patients with AIH may be performed safely using MMF instead of prednisone.
