The correlation between the expression of genes involved in drug metabolism and the blood level of tacrolimus in liver transplant receipts

Abstract Immunosuppressive medications, such as tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil, are commonly used for reducing the risk of organ rejection in receipts of allogeneic organ transplant. The optimal dosages of these drugs are required for preventing rejection and avoiding toxicity to receipts. Thi...
