Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if concentration of tacrolimus metabolites is increased in patients presenting tacrolimus (TAC) side effects.
Description
The study will evaluate whether the blood concentration of TAC metabolites (13-O-desmethyl-tacrolimus, 15-O-desmethyl-tacrolimus and 31-O-desmethyl-tacrolimus), measured between Day1 and Day5 of its introduction, is increased in patients with TAC toxicity.
A blood test will be performed daily from Day1 to Day5 for the measurement of TAC concentration and TAC metabolites concentration.
