The Tacrolimus Metabolism Rate and Dyslipidemia after Kidney Transplantation

The Tacrolimus Metabolism Rate and Dyslipidemia after Kidney Transplantation

Fast tacrolimus (Tac) metabolism is associated with reduced survival rates after renal transplantation (RTx), mainly due to cardiovascular events. Because dyslipidemia is a leading cause of cardiovascular death, we hypothesized that most RTx patients do not achieve recommended target low-density lip...
