description The number of renal transplanted patients in Saudi Arabia is markedly increased. Tacrolimus is a well-known immunosuppressive drug used to prevent allograft rejection. Due to tacrolimus- unwanted adverse effects, narrow therapeutic index, drug-drug interactions, and significant inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics, it requires constant therapeutic drug monitoring. This study aims to determine the tacrolimus-associated adverse effects and the factors associated with their occurrence, acute cellular rejection, and graft loss. Also, to evaluate the relationship between tacrolimus trough concentration (FK506-C0) levels with all of these variables. Finally, the effect of demographic, clinical, and social factors on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and treatment satisfaction in tacrolimus-treated patients’ post-renal transplantation (RTP) in Saudi population was investigated.
