Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Common genetic variants of the enzymes and efflux pump involved in tacrolimus disposition have been associated with calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity, but their importance is unclear because of the multifactorial background of renal fibrosis. This study explores the pro-fibrotic response of tacrolimus exposure in relation to the differential capacity for tacrolimus metabolism in proximal tubule...
