Patients were genotyped for the polymorphisms that can influence tacrolimus pharmacokinetics before transplantation. After transplantation, initial tacrolimus dosage was based on an algorism guided by pharmacogenetics and SchE.
After transplantation, patients received standard initial dose of tacrolimus (0.050-0.075 mg/kg).
