Pharmacokinetic Study in the Biliary Complications During Liver Transplantation

Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble

Summary

Liver transplantation is the last treatment for severe liver diseases such as advanced cirrhosis or fulminant hepatitis. This is a heavy treatment can be associated with numerous complications, particularly biliary ones. The management of biliary complications is mixed, combining endoscopic treatment with biliary protheses and antibiotics. A cohort study carried out at the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital showed a high prevalence of Enterococcus Faecium during these biliary complications. This epidemiology complicates the treatment, because it presents a natural resistance to cephalosporins and penicillin (60% of resistance to amoxicillin in Grenoble hospital), the first line treatment for biliary infection. Antibiotic used to treat this infection can be DALBAVANCIN, which are compatible with outpatient follow-up. Although the results are interesting in term of efficacy, no study has investigated the biliary diffusion of this antibiotic.
