Abstract excerpt
Tacrolimus (TAC) pharmacokinetics is influenced by the donor CYP3A5 genotype and the age of pediatric liver recipients. However, an optimization of a genotype-based algorithm for determining TAC starting is needed to earlier achieve stable target levels. As the graft itself is responsible for its metabolism, the Graft-to-Recipient Weight Ratio (GRWR) might play a role in TAC dose requirements. A single-center...
