Comparison of four different cyclosporine immunoassays in heart and kidney transplant recipients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Tacrolimus (TAC) has a narrow therapeutic index and high interindividual and intraindividual pharmacokinetic variability, necessitating therapeutic drug monitoring to individualize dosage. Recent evidence suggests that intragraft TAC concentrations may better predict transplant outcomes. This study aimed to ...
