Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Susceptibility to calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity (CNIT) after solid organ transplantation could be related to an interindividual variability in renal expression and function of the metabolizing cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) isoenzyme and of the multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp, ABCB1). METHODS: We compared renal expression of CYP3A5 and P-gp, measured by immunohistochemistry, in...
