Effect of mycophenolic acid on inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) activity in liver transplant patients
ConclusionMPA-levels and IMPDH-activity in liver transplanted patients allows individual risk assessment. Patients with higher IMPDH inhibition acquire more often viral infections. Insufficient IMPDH inhibition is associated with development of non-anastomotic bile duct strictures and reduced re-transplantation-free survival.
