Figure 2 Trough concentrations of Tac and EVR in the EVR+ and EVR− groups. (A) The trough concentration of Tac in the EVR+ group ( – closed circles) was significantly lower than in the EVR− group ( – open circles) at 6, 9, 12, 15 months, and 3 years after kidney transplantation (* P<0.001). (B) The trough concentration of EVR was in the range of 5–8 ng/ml at all times. C0 – trough concentration; Tac – tacrolimus; EVR – everolimus.
