Effect of Azole/Echinocandin Use on Tacrolimus Pharmacokinetics

Methylprednisolone sodium succinate was administered intravenously the day after transplantation at an initial dose of 500 mg/day, with the dose being tapered evenly to 40 mg/day during the first week. During the second week, methylprednisolone tablets were administered continuously at a dose of 40 mg/day, after which the dose was tapered to 16 mg/day as a maintenance dose. Immunosuppression was maintained with oral mycophenolate sodium 720 mg twice daily. For renal transplant patients, the initial oral tacrolimus dose should be 0.15 - 0.30 mg/kg per day divided into morning and evening doses. The starting dose of voriconazole should be 400 mg twice a day, which should be changed to 200 mg twice a day from the next day as a maintenance dose.

The dosage of caspofungin was 70 mg intravenous injection once on the first day after surgery and 50 mg intravenous injection once a day starting from the second day.
