Implications of Clinical Mycophenolate Mofetil Dose According to Individual Body Weight in Japanese Renal Transplant Recipients

Individual BW seems to affect the MPA AUC:MMF dose ratio; therefore, we need to consider individual BW when deciding on a MMF dose. The MMF dose:BW ratio of 10-16 mg/kg could predict MPA AUC between 30 and 60 μg·h/mL with a probability of approximately 75%. Therefore, it could be a useful index for outpatients, because it is difficult to draw blood frequently from such patients.
