A population pharmacokinetic model for early follow-up dosing of tacrolimus in Tunisian kidney transplant recipients
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
Tacrolimus is the cornerstone of immunosuppressive therapy in kidney transplantation. However, it exhibits significant pharmacokinetic (PK) variability among patients. Therefore, Population Pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling is crucial for personalized tacrolimus treatment. While PopPK models have been...

Respiratory viruses are among the most prevalent human pathogens, accounting for a significant proportion of global mortality. These viruses spread rapidly within populations, causing acute infections and, in vulnerable groups, severe or chronic disease [1, 2]. They are characterized by relatively short...
Higher Urinary Iron Levels Are Associated with Kidney Dysfunction, Tubular Damage, and Increased Mortality in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Kidney Transplantation 1 min.
* Kidney transplant recipients have higher urinary iron levels than controls and urinary iron levels are increased with oral iron supplementation. * Urinary iron levels are associated with worse kidney function, increased tubular damage markers, and a higher mortality risk during follow-up....
