Although therapeutic drug monitoring of plasma mycophenolic acid (MPA) concentrations has been recommended to individualize dosage in transplant recipients, little is known regarding lymphocyte concentrations of MPA, where MPA inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). This study investigated the utility of measuring predose MPA concentrations in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (C0C) and predose IMPDH activity, as predictors of graft rejection in renal transplant recipients.
