SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF INTRA-PATIENT VARIABILITY OF TACROLIMUS CONCENTRATIONS POST-KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate Tacrolimus's (TAC) concentration and intra-patient variability of Tacrolimus concentrations and analyze its relationship with some clinical and subclinical characteristics in patients after kidney transplantation from the 7th to the 12th month. Methods: A retrospective, prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 108 patients who were evaluated for the coefficient of variation of TAC concentration based on the quantification of TAC trough concentrations at the 7th to the 12th month post-kidney transplantation. The distribution of drug concentration variation was based on the quartile principle. Results: The median IPV of the study group from 7th to 12th month was 19.0%, with a minimum of 6.84% and a maximum of 57.84%. The proportion of patients with high IPV was 13.9%. IPV was not significantly associated with age, sex, eGFR, MMF dose, hemoglobin concentration, and post-transplant proteinuria, with p > 0.05. IPV was associated considerably with TAC trough concentrations at months 8, 9, and 10; p < 0.05. IPV was significantly related to TAC trough concentrations at months 8, 9, and 10; p < 0.05. Conclusion: The IPV of the study group during the 6 months (7th to 12th) fluctuated significantly and was significantly related to trough concentrations at months 8, 9, and 10.
