Immunosuppression in Liver Transplantation Consensus and Guidance Conference
February 9th-10th 2017, Park City, Utah, USA
Course Directors:Michael Charlton, MD, FRCP
Intermountain Medical Center
Murray, UT, USA
Josh Levitsky, MD, MS
Northwestern University
Chicago, IL, USA
Objectives:This conference will provide a detailed overview of the
current challenges and advances in immunosuppressive
therapy in the field of liver transplantation. International experts
will convene to focus on immunosuppression management
strategies and best practices in the consensus conference
format. The consensus conference proceedings will be used to
generate a Practice Guidelines manuscript for publication in
Transplantation. The conference will focus on three separate
areas:
• Mechanisms, and pharmacology of immunosuppressive
agents used in liver transplant recipients.
• Management of adverse effects of immunosuppressive
agents used in liver transplant recipients, including:
• Viral hepatitis, recurrence of non-viral primary liver disease,
renal toxicity, malignancy, metabolic syndrome
• Review emerging issues, including advances in biomarkers,
pharmacogenomics and approaches to early and
immunosuppression minimization.
Educational Goals: The overall goal of this course is to discuss the past, present
and future of immunosuppression therapy following liver
transplantation. It will focus on the most recent advances
and discuss selection of therapies based on diverse patient
phenotypes.
Learning objectives:• Understand the pros and cons of the use of different
maintenance and induction agents
• Understand immunosuppression management strategies in
special populations and disease states
• Learn the utility of therapeutic drug monitoring, drug
interactions and the potential for tailored dosing based on
genotypic/phenotypic patterns
• Learn about approaches to minimize the impact of long
term immunosuppression, including tailoring treatments
(including withdrawal) based on clinical features and
immune monitoring
