Review Meta AnalysisExtended release versus immediate release tacrolimus in kidney transplant recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To compare the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 12 months together with other outcomes among adult kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) who received extended release, once daily tacrolimus (ER-Tac) compared to those who received the immediate release, twice daily tacrolimus (IR-Tac) administration. ⋯ Based upon currently available evidences in KTRs, the impact on kidney allograft function appears to be comparable between ER-Tac and IR-Tac.
