abstract：BACKGROUND:Early calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) withdrawal with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has not become routine practice, due to concerns about excess acute rejection. Therapeutic drug monitoring may be advantageous when the CNI or MMF is withdrawn. METHODS:This prospective, randomized, concentration-controlled withdr...
