Tacrolimus is a first-line calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) and an integral part of the immunosuppressive strategy in solid organ transplantation. Being a dose-critical drug, tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic index that necessitates periodic monitoring to maintain the drug's efficacy and reduce the consequences of overexposure. Tacrolimus is characterized by substantial intra- and inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability. At steady state, the tacrolimus blood concentration to daily dose ratio (C/D ratio) has been described as a surrogate for the estimation of the individual metabolism rate, where a low C/D ratio reflects a higher rate of metabolism. Fast tacrolimus metabolism (low C/D ratio) is associated with the risk of poor outcomes after transplantation, including reduced allograft function and survival, higher allograft rejection, CNI nephrotoxicity, a faster decline in kidney function, reduced death-censored graft survival (DCGS), post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular events. In this article, we discuss the potential role of the C/D ratio in a noninvasive monitoring strategy for identifying patients at risk for potential adverse events post-transplant.
