Tacrolimus in cardiac transplantation: efficacy and safety of a novel dosing protocol.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Functionally relevant polymorphisms in genes of the Th1 and Th2-inflammatory pathway influence the susceptibility to acute rejection (AR), chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), and subclinical rejection (SR) as well as graft survival after renal transplantation. Because these findings have not been validated,...
