Journal ArticleDOI

Calcineurin Inhibitor Nephrotoxicity

TL;DR: The authors critically review the current evidence relating systemic blood levels of cyclosporine and tacrolimus to calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity, and summarize the data suggesting that local exposure to cycloporine or tacolimus could be more important than systemic exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Banff 2019 Kidney Meeting Report (I): updates on and clarification of criteria for T cell- and antibody-mediated rejection

TL;DR: This report on kidney transplant pathology details clarifications and refinements to the criteria for chronic active (CA) T cell–mediated rejection, borderline, and antibody‐mediated rejection (ABMR).
Journal ArticleDOI

Multidrug resistance protein 2 genetic polymorphisms influence mycophenolic acid exposure in renal allograft recipients

TL;DR: The MRP2 C-24T and C-3972T polymorphisms protect renal transplant recipients from a decrease in MPA exposure associated with mild liver dysfunction and are suggested to be associated with a lower oral clearance of MPA in steady-state conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

CYP3A5 and CYP3A4 but not MDR1 Single-nucleotide Polymorphisms Determine Long-term Tacrolimus Disposition and Drug-related Nephrotoxicity in Renal Recipients

TL;DR: The lack of a time‐related increase in dose‐corrected tacrolimus exposure observed with the CYP3A4*1/CYP3A5*1 and CYP6*1B/Cyp3A 5*1 genotypes is associated with tac rolimus‐related nephrotoxicity, possibly as a result of higher concentrations of toxic metabolites.
