LTx recipients show a wide inter-individual variation in prednisolone pharmacokinetics; therefore, many are overdosed on conventional protocols. Side-effects of corticosteroid therapy remain a major clinical problem after transplantation, justifying the use of prednisolone TDM to optimize dosing and minimize morbidity.
