Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tacrolimus is established as immunosuppressant after kidney transplantation. Polymorphism of the cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5) gene contributes significantly to tacrolimus dose requirements. Recently, CYP3A4*22 was reported to additionally affect tacrolimus pharmacokinetics (PK). In addition, there are further polymorphic genes, possibly influencing CYP3A activity [pregnane x receptor NR1I2, P450...
