Measure
Low Target Tacrolimus (Advagraf)
This group will receive rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) induction (3 -4 doses of 1.5 mg/kg during the first post transplant week) with IV solumedrol, MPA (Mycophenolate Mofetil or Mycophenolate Sodium), and "low-target" Advagraf. Tacrolimus: Low target tacrolimus Advagraf (0.25mg/kg) orally once daily dosed as per manufacturer's recommendation to target trough levels as per Table 1 Table 1 Months post tx: 0-1 month, level 5-7; 1-3 months, level 4-5; and 3-6 months, level 3-4
Standard Target Tacrolimus (Advagraf)
This group will receive basiliximab induction (40 mg total) with IV solumedrol, MPA (Mycophenolate Mofetil or Mycophenolate Sodium), and "standard target" Advagraf. Tacrolimus: Standard dose of tacrolimus Advagraf (0.25mg/kg) orally once daily dosed as per manufacturer's recommendation to target trough levels as per Table 1 Table 1 Months post tx 0-1 month; level 8-12; 1-3 months, level 6-9; and 3-6 months, level 5-8.
