1.
Comparison of Dried Blood Spots Versus Conventional Plasma Collection for the Characterization of Efavirenz Pharmacokinetics in a Large-Scale Global Clinical Trial-The ENCORE1 Study
Amara A, Else L, Carey D, Khoo S, Back D, Amin J, et al.
Ther Drug Monit . 2017 Sep; 39(6):654-658. PMID: 28953037
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the utility of dried blood spots (DBS) compared with conventional plasma collection methods for characterization of efavirenz pharmacokinetics, in the setting...
2.
A validated method for quantification of efavirenz in dried blood spots using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
Amara A, Else L, Tjia J, Olagunju A, Puls R, Khoo S, et al.
Ther Drug Monit . 2014 Aug; 37(2):220-8. PMID: 25162217
Background: Efavirenz (EFV) is one of the preferred components of first-line antiretroviral treatment. EFV is characterized by a long plasma half-life (40-55 hours) with large interpatient variability, which raises the...

Randomized controlled trial: lisinopril reduces proteinuria, ammonia, and renal polypeptide tubular catabolism in patients with chronic allograft nephropathy
Amara A, Sharma A, Alexander J, Alfirevic A, Mohiuddin A, Pirmohamed M, et al.
Transplantation . 2010 Jan; 89(1):104-14. PMID: 20061926
Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in native nephropathies reduce proteinuria and delay progression to renal failure. Data in renal transplantation remain limited. A negative effect on glomerular filtration rate was concluded...

Albumin overload induces adaptive responses in human proximal tubular cells through oxidative stress but not via angiotensin II type 1 receptor
Shalamanova L, McArdle F, Amara A, Jackson M, Rustom R
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol . 2007 Mar; 292(6):F1846-57. PMID: 17327499
Proteinuria is pathogenic to proximal tubular cells (PTC) and linked with progression to renal failure. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of human serum albumin (HSA)...

Calcineurin inhibitors and proximal renal tubular injury in renal transplant patients with proteinuria and chronic allograft nephropathy
Bone J, Amara A, Shenkin A, Hammad A, Sells R, Alexander J, et al.
Transplantation . 2005 Feb; 79(1):119-22. PMID: 15714179
Background: Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is commonly associated with proteinuria. In native nephropathies, proteinuria is linked with proximal renal tubular damage. This study uses regression analysis to link proteinuria with...
