- Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of patients' genetic and clinical parameters on tacrolimus dosage and concentration after lung transplantation. METHODS: A total of 50 patients who had received lung transplantation in our hospital from April 2017 to August 2018 were enrolled in this study. Information was collected 1 year after transplantation. Tacrolimus concentration was determined by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) and CYP3A5 genotype was detected by Sanger sequencing. Body weight adjusted dosage (D) and dosage adjusted concentration (C/D) were calculated. Influence of CYP3A5 genotype on D and C/D were analyzed. Multiple linear regression was performed to determine influential factors on tacrolimus dosage 1 year after lung transplantation. RESULTS: While maintaining tacrolimus concentration within therapeutic range, dosage requirement for CYP3A5*1/*1 and *1/*3 patients was higher than that of *3/*3 patients and C/D value was lower than that of *3/*3 patients (P<0.05). Multivariable linear regression results showed that CYP3A5 genotype, hemoglobin and age had significant influence on tacrolimus D, among which hemoglobin and age showed negative correlation (P<0.05). Prediction equation for tacrolimus D was obtained by multivariable linear regression. The correlation coefficient between predicted dose and actual dose was 0.824 (95% CI: 0.705-0.893). CONCLUSION: Tacrolimus dosage after lung transplantation is influenced by CYP3A5 genotype, hemoglobin and age. Using these factors for tacrolimus dosage prediction could possibly be instructive for individualized use of tacrolimus.
