Transplant & Immunosuppressive Drug Links

Important: This drug data and lab result data is presented only as further information for you to discuss with your doctor. Because of the unusual, inconsistent and statistically complex methodology involved in evaluating the presented data, it is virtually impossible to make a reasonable comparison between one patient and another. Further, different laboratories use different 'normal' ranges for different populations, and transplant populations are expected to have somewhat broader ranges of 'normal' values than immunocompetent people. Selecting one single lab value and considering it in an arbitrary state is essentailly useless, since all biochemical processes interact, a single value almost never gives the true and complete picture. Drug dosage does not equal blood level, blood level does not always compensate for mg/kg of body mass, so it is more complicated than it at first seems.

We will be revising and expanding this section in the near future, but the caveat still is true: do not self-diagnose from statistical generalities.
