What is the effect of diltiazem on acute tubular necrosis, acute rejection, and cyclosporine levels?
The effect of diltiazem on acute tubular necrosis, acute rejection, and cyclosporine levels was investigated in a study by Alcaraz et al. (2020). The study found that diltiazem had a positive effect in preventing acute tubular necrosis, reducing the rate of acute rejection, and decreasing cyclosporine levels. These findings suggest that diltiazem may be beneficial in improving graft health in kidney transplant patients.
