Sirolimus‐induced hyperlipidaemia in liver transplant recipients is not dose‐dependent
Abstract
Summary: Background : Sirolimus is a potent immunosuppressive medication that acts by inhibiting T‐cell proliferation. It has been used in kidney transplantation because of its lack of nephrotoxicity. It is now being investigated in liver transplantation, but there are concerns about safety and long‐term side effects such as dyslipidaemia. Hypertriglyceridaemia is a common adverse event seen with sirolimus use, and often does not respond to dose reduction or anti‐lipemic drugs. Method : We report six patients who have developed significant hyperlipidaemia while receiving sirolimus, in spite of therapeutic trough levels. Conclusion : All six patients showed either resolution or improvement in lipid levels with discontinuation of sirolimus.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Chronic treatment of humans with high doses of rapalogs is also associated with deleterious metabolic consequences including hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance 139–143.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
