Article Synopsis
- - The effectiveness of calcineurin inhibitors in kidney transplant patients is closely linked to how their drug levels are monitored, specifically looking at the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC).
- - For cyclosporine (CYA), blood levels are typically checked 2 hours after taking the drug, while for tacrolimus (TAC), levels are measured just before the next dose (trough concentration).
- - This study compared the blood concentration patterns of CYA and TAC in kidney transplant patients with similar backgrounds, revealing notable differences in their pharmacokinetics and how their levels relate to AUC.
