Brief Summary

Tacrolimus is a drug used commonly in kidney transplant patients to prevent graft rejection. Tacrolimus acts in a very narrow range in the blood for its optimum activity. If the levels are too high, there is a risk of kidney injury, whereas, if the levels are too low there is a higher risk of rejection and graft loss. Genetic differences in the gene coding for the enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP3A5), which is responsible for breaking down active tacrolimus can contribute to variations in blood levels of tacrolimus among different individuals taking the same dose of the drug. Certain genetic types lead to low concentrations, whereas certain genetic types can lead to high levels. The proportion of individuals with different types of genetic variations differ among different ethnic populations. Limited data are available in Thai subjects or on the risk have having certain types of genetic variations on the risk of rejection. This study aims to compare the effects of different types of CYP3A5 gene variations on Tacrolimus drug levels and risk of acute rejection in Thais.

Study Population

Thai recipients who underwent kidney transplantation between January 2011 and December 2013 and were receiving two divided daily doses of tacrolimus in their initial regimen for prevention of allograft rejection

You may qualify if:

  • Kidney transplantation between January 2011 and December 2013
  • Received two divided daily doses of tacrolimus in their initial regimen for prevention of allograft rejection
  • Informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • multiple organ transplantation
  • hyperacute rejection
  • non-functioning graft,
  • ABO incompatible kidney transplantation
  • severe liver function or hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin \<3 g/dl)
  • severe gastrointestinal disorders that could interfere with their ability to absorb oral medications
  • patients whose recorded data is incomplete;
  • Receiving other medications that can significantly interfere with tacrolimus pharmacokinetics (except methylprednisolone and prednisolone)
