Increased renal function decline in fast metabolizers using extended-release tacrolimus after kidney transplantation

Abstract Fast metabolism of immediate-release tacrolimus (IR-Tac) is associated with decreased kidney function after renal transplantation (RTx) compared to slow metabolizers. We hypothesized, by analogy, that fast metabolism of extended-release tacrolimus (ER-Tac) is associated with worse renal fun...
