BACKGROUND: The risk of long-term chronic allograft nephropathy and graft loss after kidney transplantation is increased in patients with a high intrapatient variability of tacrolimus (Tac) clearance. METHODS: To test whether this intrapatient variability is associated with an individual's CYP3A5 genotype, we measured the intrapatient variability in Tac clearance in a cohort of 208 kidney transplant recipients treated with Tac and mycophenolate mofetil. RESULTS: Tac dose requirement was significantly higher in patients expressing CYP3A5. However, intraindividual variability of Tac clearance was not related to CYP3A5 genotype. CONCLUSIONS: Intraindividual variability in Tac clearance is not related to CYP3A5 genotype. Other factors, including patient adherence, may explain the variability in Tac clearance within an individual patient over time.
