What is the normal range of tacrolimus level?

Answer 1

I had a kidney/pancreas transplant 9 months ago. My last tacr level was 10.7, which my coordinator called "toxic." - way too high. It should be below 9. at 9 months post-op, he said it should be around 6-8. Sorry, I don't know what the Low-Normal number is, but it's probably not much below 6.

Normal range=5 to 16,it must be below 14 after 3 month post transplant.

That depends on what type of transplant you had, and how long it's been since the transplant. (There is more than one "range" that you may be aiming to stay in between, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach for everyone who's ever had a transplant). For example, those who have had a kidney transplant generally require a higher blood tacrolimus range than those who have had a liver transplant etc... Also, the longer it has been since your transplant, the lower the level of tacrolimus you should need (Within reason. Usually within 3 years of your transplant you will have reached what is probably your lowest maintenance doesage) . This means that there is no "normal" range.
