Colchicine Levels in Chronic Kidney Diseases and Kidney Transplant Recipients using Tacrolimus

Title of Journal: Clinical Transplantation

Abstract Background: Tacrolimus is a CYP3A4 inhibitor and can alter colchicine metabolism. In this study, we aimed to evaluate plasma colchicine levels in different stages of kidney disease as well as in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients using tacrolimus.

Method: This study included 6 FMF patients with normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as controls, 3 patients with low GFR, 6 FMF patients on hemodialysis (HD), and 6 FMF patients who were KTx recipients using tacrolimus. After a three-day washout period, plasma colchicine levels were measured at 0 (pre-dose), 1,2,4,8, and 24 hours
