Extended-release tacrolimus dosing and outcomes in pediatric and young adult transplant recipients - A single-center experience.

In this study, pediatric and young adult abdominal transplant recipients had therapeutic tacrolimus levels at LCPT doses below the adult-labeled dose; the conversion ratio from IR-Tac to LCPT at therapeutic level was similar. There were no identified safety concerns in de novo or converted LCPT use in pediatric and young adult patients.
