Neurological complications (NCs) represent a serious problem following liver transplantation and may develop either because of various peri-operative factors or the toxicity of immunosuppression. Although the causality assessment of NCs can be particularly difficult in the setting of organ transplantation, calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) might influence NCs to a certain extent, regardless of the etiology. Therefore, minimizing the influence of CNIs could be a reasonable strategy for alleviating NCs. Based on our hypothesis that lipid supplementation prevents lipophilic CNIs from crossing the blood-brain barrier, soybean oil was administered to five liver transplant patients with NCs. In all of these patients, the neurological symptoms improved without discontinuing or reducing the dose of CNIs. Thus, lipid supplementation might be able to reduce the adverse neurological effects of CNIs.
