Several neurological side effects induced by tacrolimus are described in the scientific literature, ranging from mild neurological symptoms to delirium and psychosis. We report the case of a 46-year-old man with no prior psychiatric history who suddenly manifested manic-like psychosis associated with elevated trough tacrolimus blood concentrations 17 years after kidney transplant. The use of antipsychotics may improve the severity of symptoms; but in order to obtain a complete remission, the reduction in the dose of tacrolimus, or its replacement with alternative immunosuppressant therapies, is recommended.
科学文献中描述了他克莫司引起的几种神经副作用,从轻微的神经症状到谵妄和精神病。我们报告了一例46岁男性病例,该患者既往无精神病史,在肾移植17年后突然出现与他克莫司血药谷浓度升高相关的躁狂样精神病。使用抗精神病药物可能会改善症状的严重程度;但为了实现完全缓解,建议减少他克莫司的剂量,或用替代免疫抑制疗法替代它。
