Core Tip	Tacrolimus is mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and ketoconazole is a potent inhibitor of P450. Transplant programs often use ketoconazole to reduce the tacrolimus dose and financial cost. Small short-term studies had previously supported such practice, but the long-term outcome are still lacking. We hereby report our center’s experience of this combination in kidney transplant recipients. Our study suggests that co-administration of ketoconazole and tacrolimus is associated with significantly higher incidence of acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients.
