Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: UGT1A8 and UGT2B7 are important uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms for the glucuronidation of mycophenolic acid (MPA). The aim of this investigation was to elucidate MPA pharmacokinetics in UGT1A8 and UGT2B7 genotypes in Japanese renal transplant recipients. METHODS: Seventy-two recipients received repeated doses of mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus. On day 28 after renal...
