Effect of Protein Binding on Exposure of Unbound and Total Mycophenolic Acid: A Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Chinese Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients

ConclusionsThe established model adequately described the popPK characteristics of the uMPA, tMPA, and MPAG. The estimated CLuMPA/F and unbound fraction of MPA (FUMPA) in Chinese kidney transplant recipients cotreated with CsA were comparable to those published previously in Caucasians. We recommend monitoring uMPA instead of tMPA to optimize mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) dosing for patients with lower ALB levels.
