Abstract
BACKGROUND BK infections have been observed more frequently among people who are rapid metabolizers. The tacrolimus c/d ratio identifies rapid metabolizers after transplantation. Envarsus has a lower peak drug level exposure than tacrolimus and is more pronounced in rapid metabolizers. This study hypothesized that less exposure to high tacrolimus levels through use of Envarsus would reduce the incidence of BK infections. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study prospectively converted 43 consecutive kidney transplant recipients (identified as rapid metabolizers by c/d ratio of.
