The activity of several key enzymes involved in the metabolism of many drugs is subject to change closely related to the age of patients. This possibility must also be considered in the case of tacrolimus, the most important calcineurins inhibitor, which is widely used in pediatric kidney transplantation. As well as in the liver and intestine, some of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of tacrolimus were also isolated in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), where also appear to play an important regulatory action. Therefore, the influence of some external factors on the expression of specific mRNA can be determined noninvasively
