    Low-dose tacrolimus (FK506)-based immunosuppressive protocol in living donor renal transplantation

    In order to avoid the side effects of tacrolimus (FK506), a low-dose FK506-based regimen was started from 1 June 1991. The dose was adjusted to maintain the FK506 whole blood trough level at 15–20 ng/ml for 7...
