IMK ATP levels and tacrolimus ratio in LT and KT patients. (a) The mean ATP levels in LT-L patients was significantly lower than that in LT-H (185.7 (82–310) ng/mL versus 442.7 (238–966), ), and KT-L patients had also lower IMK ATP levels than KT-H patients (225.6 (80–359) ng/mL versus 488.6 (277–770), ). (b) The mean tacrolimus ratios were 184.5 (43–366) ng/mL per mg/kg/day in LT-L patients and 130.5 (41–460) in LT-H without any significant difference . There was also no significant difference between KT-L and KT-H (62.2 (30–131) ng/mL per mg/kg/day versus 76.0 (26–248), ).
