Abstract excerpt
Tacrolimus dosing in liver transplantation is complicated by a narrow therapeutic index and high CYP3A5 genetic variability. While saturable Michaelis-Menten kinetics can explain nonlinearities, identifying saturable parameters from routine clinical data remains challenging. This study aimed to determine the optimal structural model and develop a precision dosing algorithm. A population pharmacokinetic analysis...
