Limited Sampling Strategies for Predicting Tacrolimus Systemic Exposure After Adult Kidney Transplantation: A Narrative Review

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

After a kidney transplant, people take tacrolimus to stop the body rejecting the new kidney, and the blood level has to be watched closely. Getting a true picture normally means many blood draws over a whole day. This review discusses shortcut methods that estimate the full exposure from only two or three draws. It is a summary of other people's work, so it reports no new results of its own.
