Study of the Cellular Diffusion of Tacrolimus Across the Membrane of Mononuclear Cells

Pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus are highly variable and may result in graft rejection (underdosing) or toxicity (overdosing). The risk of transplant rejection and the toxicity of tacrolimus can be reduced by pharmacological therapeutic monitoring of the molecule, based on the measurement of residual blood concentrations. Nevertheless, some patients are victims of rejections or toxic signs even though their blood concentrations are in the therapeutic target. The aim of the study is to describe the pharmacokinetics of tacrolimus diffusion in mononuclear cells as well as the kinetics of effect of the drug on its target protein
