Phenotypic Personalized Medicine: Mechanism-Independent Convergence Into Target Serum Tacrolimus Levels for Optimized Liver Transplant Immunosuppression
PURPOSE:Immunosuppressive drugs such as tacrolimus have narrow therapeutic ranges and their dosing variability necessitates intensive drug monitoring. This study aimed to use Feedback System Control…2015 American Transplant Congress
Plasma 4β-Hydroxycholesterol Measurement as a Potential Biomarker for CYP3A5 Activity in Informing Tacrolimus Dosing
Background—Recently, 4β-hydroxycholesterol (4β-OHC) has been shown to be an endogenous marker of P450 3A activity in clinical practice (Diczfalusy et al, 2011). 4β-OHC concentration increases…
